AJAX | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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; 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? 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: 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. |
[Exeunt] |
