Neoptolemus: I have ta'en his arms, and now-

Ulysses: Thou wouldst restore them! Speak! Is that thy purpose?

Almighty Jove!

Neoptolemus: Unjustly should I keep
Another's right?

Ulysses: Now, by the gods, thou meanest
To mock me! Dost thou not?

Neoptolemus: If to speak truth
Be mockery.

Ulysses: And does Achilles' son
Say this to me?

Neoptolemus: Why force me to repeat
My words so often to thee?

Ulysses: Once to hear them
Is once indeed too much.
