Tro. O Cressid! O false Cressid! false, false, false ! Ulyss. And they'll seem glorious. O, contain yourself; 180 Your passion draws ears hither. Enter Eneas. Ene. I have been seeking you this hour, my lord: Hector by this is arming him in Troy ; Ajax your guard stays to conduct you home. Tro. Have with you, prince. My courteous lord, adieu. Farewell, revolted fair! and, Diomed, Stand fast, and wear a castle on thy head! Ulyss. I'll bring you to the gates. Tro. Accept distracted thanks. [Exeunt Troilus, Eneas, and Ulysses. Ther. Would I could meet that rogue Diomed! I 190 would croak like a raven; I would bode, I would bode. Patroclus will give me any thing for the intelligence of this whore: the parrot will not do more for an almond than he for a commodious drab. Lechery, lechery! still wars and lechery! nothing else holds fashion. A burning devil take them! [Exit. Scene III. Troy. Before Priam's palace. Enter Hector and Andromache. And. When was my lord so much ungently temper'd, And. My dreams will, sure, prove ominous to the day. Cas. Enter Cassandra. Where is my brother Hector? ΙΟ And. Here, sister; arm'd, and bloody in intent. Hect. Ho! bid my trumpet sound! Cas. No notes of sally, for the heavens, sweet brother. Hect. Be gone, I say the gods have heard me swear. Cas. The gods are deaf to hot and peevish vows: They are polluted offerings, more abhorr'd For we would give much, to use violent thefts Cas. It is the purpose that makes strong the vow; Hect. Hold you still, I say; Enter Troilus. 20 How now, young man! mean'st thou to fight to day? And. Cassandra, call my father to persuade. 39 [Exit Cassandra. Hect. No, faith, young Troilus; doff thy harness, youth: I am to-day i' the vein of chivalry: Let grow thy sinews till their knots be strong, Tro. Brother, you have a vice of mercy in you, Hect. What vice is that, good Troilus? chide me for it. Even in the fan and wind of your fair sword, You bid them rise and live. Hect. O, 'tis fair play. Tro. Fool's play, by heaven, Hector. Hect. How now! how now! 40 For the love of all the gods, Let's leave the hermit pity with our mother; And when we have our armours buckled on, The venom'd vengeance ride upon our swords, Spur them to ruthful work, rein them from ruth! Hect. Fie, savage, fie! Tro. Hector, then 'tis wars. Not fate, obedience, nor the hand of Mars Their eyes o'ergalled with recourse of tears; 50 Nor you, my brother, with your true sword drawn, But by my ruin. Re-enter Cassandra, with Priam. Cas. Lay hold upon him, Priam, hold him fast: Pri. Hect. Pri. 60 Come, Hector, come, go back: Thy wife hath dream'd; thy mother hath had visions; Cassandra doth foresee; and I myself Eneas is afield; This morning to them. Hect. I must not break my Ay, but thou shalt not go. 70 faith. You know me dutiful; therefore, dear sir, Which you do here forbid me, royal Priam. And. Do not, dear father. Hect. Andromache, I am offended with you: |
