Note 1 — GEORGE BRANDES (continued 14)

William Archer translation

Troilus's euphuisms:—

"I was about to tell thee: when my heart As wedged with a sigh, would rive in twain, Lest Hector or my father should perceive me, I have, as when the sun doth light a storm, Buried this sigh in wrinkle of a smile" (Act i. sc. I). "——O gentle Pandarus, From Cupid's shoulder pluck his painted wings, And fly with me to Cressid" (Act iii. sc. 2).
