Troilus, thou coward Troilus, show thy head!
|
 |
|
Enter DIOMEDES
|
 |
|
| DIOMEDES |
 |
|
 |
Troilus, I say! where's Troilus?
|
 |
|
| AJAX |
 |
|
 |
What wouldst thou?
|
 |
|
| DIOMEDES |
 |
|
 |
I would correct him.
|
 |
|
| AJAX |
 |
|
 |
5 Were I the general, thou shouldst have my office
Ere that correction. Troilus, I say! what, Troilus!
|
 |
|
Enter TROILUS
|
 |
|
| TROILUS |
 |
|
 |
O traitor Diomed! turn thy false face, thou traitor,
And pay thy life thou owest me for my horse!
|
 |
|
| DIOMEDES |
 |
|
 |
Ha, art thou there?
|
 |
|
| AJAX |
 |
|
 |
10 I'll fight with him alone: stand, Diomed.
|
 |
|
| DIOMEDES |
 |
|
 |
He is my prize; I will not look upon.
|
 |
|
| TROILUS |
 |
|
 |
Come, both you cogging Greeks; have at you both!
|
 |
|
Exeunt, fighting
|
 |
|
Enter HECTOR
|
 |
|
| HECTOR |
 |
|
 |
Yea, Troilus? O, well fought, my youngest brother!
|
 |
|
Enter ACHILLES
|
 |
|
| ACHILLES |
 |
|
 |
Now do I see thee, ha! have at thee, Hector!
|
 |
|
| HECTOR |
 |
|
 |
15 Pause, if thou wilt.
|
 |
|
| ACHILLES |
 |
|
 |
I do disdain thy courtesy, proud Trojan:
Be happy that my arms are out of use:
My rest and negligence befriends thee now,
But thou anon shalt hear of me again;
20 Till when, go seek thy fortune.
|
 |
|
Exit
|
 |
|
| HECTOR |
 |
|
 |
Fare thee well:
I would have been much more a fresher man,
Had I expected thee. How now, my brother!
|
 |
|
Re-enter TROILUS
|
 |
|
| TROILUS |
 |
|
 |
Ajax hath ta'en AEneas: shall it be?
25 No, by the flame of yonder glorious heaven,
He shall not carry him: I'll be ta'en too,
Or bring him off: fate, hear me what I say!
I reck not though I end my life to-day.
|
 |
|
Exit
|
 |
|
Enter one in sumptuous armour
|
 |
|
| HECTOR |
 |
|
 |
Stand, stand, thou Greek; thou art a goodly mark:
30 No? wilt thou not? I like thy armour well;
I'll frush it and unlock the rivets all,
But I'll be master of it: wilt thou not,
beast, abide?
Why, then fly on, I'll hunt thee for thy hide.
