Troil. Before the tent of Calchas.
Thither, through all your troops, I'll fight my way;
And in the sight of perjured Cressida,
Give death to her through thee.
Diom. 'Tis largely promised;
But I disdain to answer with a boast.
Be sure thou shalt be met.
Troil. And thou be found. [Exeunt Troilus and Æneas one way; Diomede the other.
Thers. Now the furies take Æneas, for letting them sleep upon their quarrel; who knows but rest may cool their brains, and make them rise maukish to mischief upon consideration? May each of them dream he sees his cockatrice in t'other's arms; and be stabbing one another in their sleep, to remember them of their business when they wake: let them be punctual to the point of honour; and, if it were possible, let both be first at the place of execution; 345 let neither of them have cogitation enough, to consider 'tis a whore they fight for; and let them value their lives at as little as they are worth: and lastly, let no succeeding fools take warning by them; but, in imitation of them, when a strumpet is in question,
Let them beneath their feet all reason trample,
And think it great to perish by example.[Exit.
ACT V. SCENE I.
Hector, Trojans, Andromache.
Hect. The blue mists rise from off the nether grounds,
And the sun mounts apace. To arms, to arms!
I am resolved to put to the utmost proof
The fate of Troy this day.
Andr. [Aside.] Oh wretched woman, oh!
Hect. Methought I heard you sigh, Andromache.
Andr. Did you, my lord?
