Cas. No notes of sally, for the heavens, sweet brother.[2280]
Hect. Be gone, I say: the gods have heard me swear. 15
Cas. The gods are deaf to hot and peevish vows:
They are polluted offerings, more abhorr'd
Than spotted livers in the sacrifice.
And. O, be persuaded! do not count it holy[2281][2282][2283]
To hurt by being just: it is as lawful,[2281][2283][2284][2285][2286] 20
For we would give much, to use violent thefts[2281][2283][2284][2286]
And rob in the behalf of charity.[2283][2284]
Cas. It is the purpose that makes strong the vow;[2287]
But vows to every purpose must not hold:
Unarm, sweet Hector.[2288]
Hect. Hold you still, I say; 25
Mine honour keeps the weather of my fate:[2289]
Life every man holds dear; but the dear man[2290]
Holds honour far more precious-dear than life.[2291]
Enter Troilus.
How now, young man! mean'st thou to fight to-day?[2292]
And. Cassandra, call my father to persuade. 30
[Exit Cassandra.
