Hector: True to his name in sooth, his country's friend is Dolon.
Thy father's house was famed of yore, but thou hast made it doubly
so.

Dolon: So must I toil, but for my pains a meet reward should I receive.
For set a price on any deed, and then and there it gives to it a double
grace.

Hector: Yea, that is but fair; I cannot gainsay it. Name any prize
for thyself save the sway I bear.

Dolon: I covet not thy toilsome sovereignty.

Hector: Well then, marry a daughter of Priam and become my good brother.

Dolon: Nay, I care not to wed amongst those beyond my station.

Hector: There's gold, if this thou'lt claim as thy guerdon.
