Troilus and Cressida [with Biographical Introduction]

by William Shakespeare

HECTOR. But value dwells not in particular will: It holds his estimate and dignity As well wherein 'tis precious of itself As in the prizer. 'Tis mad idolatry To make the service greater than the god—I And the will dotes that is attributive To what infectiously itself affects, Without some image of th' affected merit.
