Troilus and Cressida — Scene 1. (Part 2 of 7)

PANDARUS

Grace! not so, friend: honour and lordship are my titles.
Music within
What music is this?

Servant

I do but partly know, sir: it is music in parts.

PANDARUS

Know you the musicians?

Servant

Wholly, sir.

PANDARUS

Who play they to?

Servant

To the hearers, sir.

PANDARUS

At whose pleasure, friend

Servant

At mine, sir, and theirs that love music.

PANDARUS

Command, I mean, friend.

Servant

Who shall I command, sir?

PANDARUS

Friend, we understand not one another: I am too
courtly and thou art too cunning. At whose request
do these men play?

Servant

That's to 't indeed, sir: marry, sir, at the request
of Paris my lord, who's there in person; with him,
the mortal Venus, the heart-blood of beauty, love's
invisible soul,–

PANDARUS

Who, my cousin Cressida?
