He will never listen; and by force you cannot take him.NeoptolemusHas he strength so terrific to make him bold?OdysseusYes, shafts inevitable, escorts of death.NeoptolemusThen one does not dare even approach him?OdysseusNo, unless he takes the man by deceit, as I prescribe.NeoptolemusThen you think it brings no shame to speak what is false?OdysseusNo, not if the falsehood yields deliverance.NeoptolemusAnd with what expression on his face will anyone dare mouth those lies?OdysseusWhen what you do promises gain, it is wrong to shrink back.NeoptolemusAnd what gain is it for me that he should come to Troy?OdysseusHis arrows alone will capture Troy.
