第35章 Exeunt SCENE VI. Another part of the plains.

Enter AJAX 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.
