PAGE
Monsieur Parolles, my lord calls for you.
Exit.
PAROLLES
Little Helen, farewell. If I can remember thee I will think of thee at court.
[185]
HELENA
Monsieur Parolles, you were born under a charitable star.
PAROLLES
Under Mars, I.
HELENA
I especially think under Mars.
PAROLLES
Why under Mars? [190]
HELENA
The wars hath so kept you under that you must needs be born under Mars.
PAROLLES
When he was predominant.
HELENA
When he was retrograde, I think rather.
PAROLLES
Why think you so? [195]
HELENA
You go so much backward when you fight.
PAROLLES
That’s for advantage.
