      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.
