Tro. Grecian, thou dost not use me courteously, 120
To shame the zeal of my petition to thee[1984]
In praising her: I tell thee, lord of Greece,[1985]
She is as far high-soaring o'er thy praises
As thou unworthy to be call'd her servant.
I charge thee use her well, even for my charge; 125
For, by the dreadful Pluto, if thou dost not,
Though the great bulk Achilles be thy guard,
I'll cut thy throat.[1986]
Dio. O, be not moved, Prince Troilus:
Let me be privileged by my place and message
To be a speaker free; when I am hence, 130
I'll answer to my lust: and know you, lord,[1987]
I'll nothing do on charge: to her own worth
She shall be prized; but that you say 'Be't so,'
I'll speak it in my spirit and honour 'No!'[1988]
Tro. Come, to the port. I'll tell thee, Diomed,[1989] 135
This brave shall oft make thee to hide thy head.
Lady, give me your hand; and, as we walk,
To our own selves bend we our needful talk.
[Exeunt Troilus, Cressida, and Diomedes. [A trumpet sounds.[1990]
Par. Hark! Hector's trumpet.
Æne. How have we spent this morning!
The prince must think me tardy and remiss, 140
That swore to ride before him to the field.[1991]
Par. 'Tis Troilus' fault: come, come, to field with him.[1992]
Dei. Let us make ready straight.[1993][1994]
Æne. Yea, with a bridegroom's fresh alacrity,[1993]
Let us address to tend on Hector's heels:[1993] 145
The glory of our Troy doth this day lie[1993]
On his fair worth and single chivalry. [Exeunt.[1993][1995]
