Ulysses: Why this return? Wherefore this haste?

Neoptolemus: I come
To purge me of my crimes.

Ulysses: Indeed! What crimes?

Neoptolemus: My blind obedience to the Grecian host
And to thy counsels.

Ulysses: Hast thou practised aught
Base or unworthy of thee?

Neoptolemus: Yes; by art
And vile deceit betrayed th' unhappy.

Ulysses: Whom?
Alas! what mean you?

Neoptolemus: Nothing. But the son
Of Poeas-

Ulysses: Ha! what wouldst thou do? My heart
Misgives me.
