Troilus and Cressida

The Greeks are strong, & and skilful to their strength, Fierce to their skill, and to their fierceness Valiant: But I am weaker then a womans teare: Tamer then sleep, fonder then ignorance; Lesse valiant then the Virgin in the night, And skillnesse as vnpractis'd Infancie.

When I doe tell thee, there my hopes lye drown’d: Reply not in how many Fadomes deepe They lye indrench’d.
