Speaker 1: a street enter at one side, Eneas and servant with
Speaker 1: a torch at another, Paris Diiphibus and Tina Diomedes the
Speaker 1: Grecian and others with torches.
Speaker 2: See ho, who is that there?
Speaker 1: It is, Lord Denius?
Speaker 3: Is the prince there in person? Had I so good
Speaker 3: occasion to lie long as you? Prince Paris? Nothing but
Speaker 3: heavenly business should rob my bed, made of my company?
Speaker 4: That's my mind too good, moral Lordineus.
Speaker 2: A valiant Greek Aneus, take his hand witness the process
Speaker 2: of your speech. Wherein you told how diy meed a
Speaker 2: whole week by days? Did haunt you in the field.
Speaker 3: Hell's to you, valiant sir, during all question of the
Speaker 3: gentle truth. But when I meet you, armed as black, defiance,
Speaker 3: as heart can think or courage execute.
Speaker 4: So when another diomed embraces our bloods are now in call,
Speaker 4: and so long health. But when content that occasion beat
Speaker 4: by Jove, I'll play the hunter for thy life with
Speaker 4: all my force, pursuit and policy.
Speaker 3: And thou shalt hunt a lion that will fly with
Speaker 3: his face backward in humane gentleness. Welcome to Troy now
Speaker 3: by anchiusis life welcome. Indeed by Venus hand I swear
Speaker 3: no man alive love in such a sort the thing
Speaker 3: he means to kill more excellently.
Speaker 4: We sympathize, Jove. Let a Neus live, if to my
Speaker 4: sword his fate be not the glory a thousand complete
Speaker 4: causes of the sun, but in mine emulous honor, let
Speaker 4: him die with every jointer wound. And that tomorrow.
Speaker 3: We know each other well we.
Speaker 4: Do, and long to know each other.
Speaker 2: Worse, this is the most despiteful, gentle greeting, the noblest
Speaker 2: hateful love. That ere I heard of what business lord
Speaker 2: so early I was sent.
Speaker 3: For to the king, But why I know not?
Speaker 2: His purpose meets you twas to bring this Greek Tokalcu's house,
Speaker 2: and there to render him for the infreed and tinore
Speaker 2: the fair cressed. Let's have your company, or if you
Speaker 2: please haste there before us. I constantly believe, or rather
Speaker 2: call my thought a certain knowledge. My brother Troilus lodges
Speaker 2: there to night rouse him and give him note of
Speaker 2: our approach with the whole quality. Wherefore I fear we
Speaker 2: shall be much unwelcome.
Speaker 3: That I assure you. Troylus said, rather Troy were born
Speaker 3: to Greece than Cresset born from Troy.
Speaker 2: There is no help. The bitter disposition of the time
Speaker 2: will have it. So on, Lord, we'll follow.
Speaker 3: You good morrow.
Speaker 2: All exit with servant, and tell me noble dye med faith,
Speaker 2: tell me true, even in the soul of sound good fellowship,
Speaker 2: who in your thoughts deserves fair helen best myself or
Speaker 2: Menelaus both alike.
Speaker 4: He merit well to have heard that doth seeker, not
Speaker 4: making getty scruple of her soler with such a hell
Speaker 4: of pain and world of charge, and you as where
Speaker 4: to keep her, that defend her, not pallating the taste
Speaker 4: of her dishonor with such a costly loss of wealth
Speaker 4: and friends. He like a puling cuckold, would drink up
Speaker 4: the leaves and dregs of a flat tamed piece. You,
Speaker 4: like a letcher out of hoarrish loins, are pleased to
Speaker 4: breed out your inheritors. Both merits poised each ways, nor
Speaker 4: less nor more, but he as he the heavier for
Speaker 4: a whore.
Speaker 2: You are too bitter to your country woman.
Speaker 4: She's bitter to her country. Hear me, Paris for every
Speaker 4: false drop in her body. Veins a Grecian's life hath
Speaker 4: sunk for every scruple of her contaminated carriyon weight A
Speaker 4: Troyon hath been slain since she could speak. She hath
Speaker 4: not given so many good words breath as for her Greeks,
Speaker 4: and Troyon suffered death.
Speaker 2: Fair Diomede, you do as chapmen do, dispraise the thing
Speaker 2: that you desire to buy. But we in silence hold
Speaker 2: this virtue. Well will not commend what we intend to sell.
Speaker 2: Here lies our way.
Speaker 1: Exillant scene too, troy the court of Pandera's house. Enter
Speaker 1: Troilus and Cressada, dear trouble, not yourself. The morn is called.
Speaker 3: Then, sweet my lord, I'll call mine uncle down. He
Speaker 3: shall unbolt the gates.
Speaker 1: Trouble him not to bed, to bed sleep, kill those
Speaker 1: pretty eyes, and give a soft attachment to thy senses
Speaker 1: as infants empty of our thought. Good morrow, then I
Speaker 1: prithee now to bet.
Speaker 3: Are you a weary of me?
Speaker 1: Oh, cress But that the busy day waved by the
Speaker 1: lark hath roused the rippled crows, and dreaming night will
Speaker 1: hide her joys no longer I would not.
Speaker 4: From thee.
Speaker 3: Night hath been too brief.
Speaker 1: Beshrew the witch with venomous white. She stays as tediously
Speaker 1: as hell, but flies the grasps of love with wings
Speaker 1: more momentary swift than thought. You will catch cold and curse.
Speaker 3: Me, prithee terry, you man will never tarry, Oh, foolish
Speaker 3: cress it. I might have still held off, and then
Speaker 3: you would have tarried.
Speaker 1: Hark, there's one up, panderas within.
Speaker 5: WoT all the doors open?
Speaker 4: Here?
Speaker 1: It is your uncle.
Speaker 3: Enter panderas a pestilence on him. Now he will be mocking.
Speaker 3: I shall have such a life.

Speaker 2: Where's my cousin?
Speaker 5: Graceed?
Speaker 3: Go hang yourself, you naughty, mocking uncle. You bring me
Speaker 3: to do, and then you flout.
Speaker 5: Me too to do?
Speaker 4: What to do?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 5: Let us say? What what if I brought you to do?
Speaker 3: Come? Come be through your heart. You'll never be good
Speaker 3: nor suffer others.
Speaker 2: Ha alas, poor wretch, ah, poor Cappuccier has not slept
Speaker 2: to night?
Speaker 5: Would he not a naughty man? Let it sleep a bug?
Speaker 4: By?
Speaker 5: Take him?
Speaker 3: Did I not tell you? Would he were knocked in
Speaker 3: the head? Who's that at door? Good uncle? Go and
Speaker 3: see my lord? Come you again into my chamber. You
Speaker 3: smile and mock me as if I meant naughtily.
Speaker 1: Ha ha ha ha ha.
Speaker 3: Come you are deceived. I think of no such thing.
Speaker 3: How earnestly they knock, pray you come in? I would
Speaker 3: not for have Troy? Have you seen here?
Speaker 1: Eximed Troylus and Cressta.
Speaker 5: Who's there? What's the matter? Will you have beat down
Speaker 5: the door?
Speaker 1: How?

Speaker 1: Enter Eneus?
Speaker 3: Good morrow, Lord, good Morrow?
Speaker 5: Who's there?

Speaker 3: It's not Prince Troylus?
Speaker 6: Here?
Speaker 4: Yea?
Speaker 5: What should he do here?
Speaker 3: Come? He is here, my Lord? Do not deny him.
Speaker 3: It does import him much to speak with me?
Speaker 2: Easy?
Speaker 5: Here are you?
Speaker 4: Then?
Speaker 5: I know I'll be sworn for my own part. I
Speaker 5: came in late. What should he do here?
Speaker 3: Who?
Speaker 4: Nay?
Speaker 3: Then?
Speaker 2: Come?
Speaker 3: Come? You'll do him wrong? Ere you are aware? You
Speaker 3: will be so true to him to be false to him.
Speaker 3: Do not you know of him? But yet go fetch him?
Speaker 1: Hither, go re enter Troilus. How now, what's the matter.
Speaker 4: My lord?
Speaker 3: I scarce have leisure to salute you. My matter is
Speaker 3: so rash. There is at hand Paris, your brother, and
Speaker 3: the Aphabus, the Grecian Diomede, and our and Tenore delivered
Speaker 3: to us and for him forthwith here the first sacrifice
Speaker 3: within this hour we must give up to Diomedes hand

Speaker 1: Cressadare is it so concluded.
Speaker 3: By Priam and the general state of Troy? They are
Speaker 3: at hand and ready to affect it.
Speaker 1: How my achievements mark me. I will go meet them,
Speaker 1: and my Lord Denias we met by chance? You did
Speaker 1: not find me here?
Speaker 3: Good? Good, my lord? The secrets of neighbor Pandar have
Speaker 3: not more gift and.
Speaker 1: Taciturnity exellent Troylus and aeneas.
Speaker 2: He's possible no sooner God, but lost the devil ta Antidor,
Speaker 2: the young prince will go mad her pleague a Ponnidor,
Speaker 2: I would they had broke his dick.
Speaker 1: Re enter Cressida, How now, what's the matter?
Speaker 3: Who was here?
Speaker 4: Eh ah? Why say you.
Speaker 3: So profoundly, where's my lord gone? Tell me, sweet uncle,
Speaker 3: what's the matter?
Speaker 2: Would I were as deep under the earth as I
Speaker 2: am above?
Speaker 3: Oh the gods, what's the matter?
Speaker 5: Pray thee get the inn. Would thou hadst ne'er been born?
Speaker 5: I knew thou wouldst be his death? Oh, poor gentlemen,
Speaker 5: do you have plague upon antinore?
Speaker 3: Good Uncle, I besiege you on my knees. I besiege you.
Speaker 3: What's the matter.
Speaker 2: Thou must be gone, wench, I must be gone. Thou
Speaker 2: art changed for ent and all thou must do thy
Speaker 2: father and be gone from Troylis. Twill be his death,
Speaker 2: twill be his bane. He cannot bear it, Oh.
Speaker 3: You immortal gods. I will not go.
Speaker 5: Thou must.
Speaker 3: I will not, Uncle, I have forgot my father. I
Speaker 3: know no touch of consanguinity, no kin, no love, no blood,
Speaker 3: no soul so near me as the sweet Troilers, Oh
Speaker 3: you God's divine, make Cresset's name the very crown of falsehood.
Speaker 3: If ever she leaves Troiless, time, force and death due
Speaker 3: to this body. What extremes you can but the strong
Speaker 3: base and building of my love is as the very
Speaker 3: center of the earth, drawing all things to it. I'll
Speaker 3: go in and weep.
Speaker 6: Do do tear my bright hair and scratch my praised cheeks,
Speaker 6: crack my clear voice with sobs, and break my heart
Speaker 6: with sounding troilers.
Speaker 3: I will not go from.
Speaker 1: Troy Exiant scene three, Troy, a street before Pandera's house,
Speaker 1: Enter Paris, Troilus, Eneas, Diyphibus, and Tina and Diomedes.
Speaker 2: It is great morning, and the hour prefixed for her
Speaker 2: delivery to this valiant Greek comes fast upon us. Good,
Speaker 2: my brother Troylus. Tell you the lady what she is
Speaker 2: to do, and haste her to the purpose.
Speaker 1: Walk into her house. I'll bring her to the Grecian presently,
Speaker 1: and tis hand when I deliver her. Think it an altar,
Speaker 1: and thy brother Troilus, a priest there offering to it
Speaker 1: his own heart. Exit.
Speaker 2: I know what tears to love, and would as I
Speaker 2: shall pity. I could help please you. Walk in my lords.
Speaker 1: Exit scene for Troy Panderous house, and to Panderas and Cressida.
Speaker 5: Be moderate, Be moderate?
Speaker 3: Why tell you me of moderation. The grief is fine, full,
Speaker 3: perfect that I taste, and violences in a sense as
Speaker 3: strong as that which causes it. How can I moderate it?
Speaker 3: If I could temporize with my affections, or brew it
Speaker 3: to a weak and colder pallate the like a layment.
Speaker 3: Could I give my grief? My love admits no qualifying dross,
Speaker 3: No more my grief in such a precious loss.
Speaker 2: And to Troyalis here here he comes, sweet ducks Cressida,
Speaker 2: embracing him.
Speaker 3: What Troyal is troiless?
Speaker 5: Would air of spectacles is here? Let me embrace too,
Speaker 5: oh heart, as the goodly saying is, oh heart, heavy heart?
Speaker 5: Why sighest thou without breaking? Where he answers again, because
Speaker 5: thou canst not ease thy smart by friendship, nor by speaking.
Speaker 5: And if it was a truer rhyme, let.
Speaker 2: Us cast away nothing, for we may live to have
Speaker 2: need of such a verse. We see it, We see it,
Speaker 2: how now, lambs cress it.
Speaker 1: I love THEE in so strained a purity that the
Speaker 1: blessed gods as angry with my fancy, more bright and
Speaker 1: zeal than the devotion which cold lips blow to their deities.
Speaker 1: Take THEE from me?
Speaker 7: Have the gods envy I? I? I?
Speaker 5: I too plain a case?
Speaker 3: And is it true that I must go from troy.
Speaker 1: Ah hateful truth?
Speaker 3: What and from troyalists too.
Speaker 1: From Troy and troyless is it possible? And suddenly where
Speaker 1: injury of chance puts back leave taking justles roughly by
Speaker 1: all time of pause, rudely beguiles our lips, of our rejoinder,
Speaker 1: forcibly prevents our locked embrasures, strangles our dear vows, even
Speaker 1: in the birth of our own laboring breath. We two that,
Speaker 1: with so many thousand sighs, that by each other must
Speaker 1: poorly sull ourselves with the rude brevity and discharge of
Speaker 1: one injurious time. Now, with a robber's haste, crams his
Speaker 1: rich thievery up. He knows not how as many farewells
Speaker 1: as he stars in heaven with distinct breath and consigned
Speaker 1: kisses to them, He fumbles up into a lucidieu and
Speaker 1: scancelus with a single famished kiss, distasted with the salt
Speaker 1: of broken tears enees within.
Speaker 3: My lord, is the lady ready?
Speaker 1: Hark you are colt Some say the genius cries so
Speaker 1: to him that instantly must die. Bid them have patience.
Speaker 1: She shall come Anon, Where are my tears?
Speaker 5: Rain to lay this wind? Or my heart will be blown.
Speaker 7: Up by my throat exit I must then to the Grecians,
Speaker 7: no remedy a woeful cresset mongst the merry Greeks.
Speaker 3: When shall we see again?
Speaker 1: Hear me, my love, be thou but true of heart?
Speaker 3: Aye? True? How now what wicked deem is this?
Speaker 1: Nay, we must use expostulation kindly, for it is parting
Speaker 1: from us. I speak not be thou true as fearing THEE,
Speaker 1: for I will throw my glove to death himself, that
Speaker 1: there is no maculation in thy heart. But be thou true,
Speaker 1: say I to fashion in my secret protestation. Be thou true,
Speaker 1: and I will see THEE.
Speaker 3: Oh. You shall be exposed, my lord, to dangers as
Speaker 3: infinite as imminent. But I'll be true.
Speaker 1: And I'll grow friend of danger.
Speaker 3: Where the sleeve, and you this glove, When shall I
Speaker 3: see you?
Speaker 1: I will corrupt the Grecian sentinels to give THEE nightly visitation.
Speaker 3: But yet be true, Oh, heavens, be true again?
Speaker 1: Hear why I speak it love? The Grecian youths are
Speaker 1: full of quality. They are loving, well composed, with gifts
Speaker 1: of nature, flowing and swelling o'er with arts and exercise,
Speaker 1: how novelty may move and parts with person alas a
Speaker 1: kind of godly jealousy, which I beseech you call a
Speaker 1: virtuous sin makes me afeared.
Speaker 3: Oh heavens you love mean.
Speaker 1: Not die I a villain? Then in this I do
Speaker 1: not call your faith in question. So mainly as my merit,
Speaker 1: I cannot sing nor heal the high levelt nor sweetened talk,
Speaker 1: nor play at subtle games, fair virtues, all to which
Speaker 1: the Grecians are most prompt and pregnant. That I can
Speaker 1: tell that in each grace of these their lurks is
Speaker 1: still and dumb, discoursive devil that tempts most cunningly. But
Speaker 1: be not tempted.
Speaker 3: Do you think I will?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: But something may be done that we will not. And
Speaker 1: sometimes we are devils to ourselves when we will tempt
Speaker 1: the frailty of our powers, resuming on their changeful potency.
Speaker 1: Eneas within Nay, good, my lord, come kiss and let
Speaker 1: us part Paris within brother Troilus, good, brother, come you
Speaker 1: hither and bring Eneas in the Grecian with you?
Speaker 3: My lord? Will you be true.
Speaker 1: Who I alas it is my vice my fault. Whilst
Speaker 1: others fish with craft or great opinion, I with great
Speaker 1: truth catch mere simplicity, whilst some with cunning guild their
Speaker 1: copper crowns with truth and plainness. I do wear mine,
Speaker 1: bear not my truth. The moral of my wit is
Speaker 1: plain and true. There's all the.
Speaker 4: Reach of it.
Speaker 1: Enter eneas Paris and Tina, di Ithabus and Diomedes. Welcome,
Speaker 1: Sir Diomede. Here is the lady which for aunt Tina,
Speaker 1: we deliver you. At the poort, Lord, I'll give her
Speaker 1: to thy hand, and by the way possess thee what
Speaker 1: she is, and treat her fair and by my soule,
Speaker 1: fair Greek. If ere thou stand at mercy of my
Speaker 1: sword name Cressid, and thy life shall be as safe
Speaker 1: as prim is an ilien.

Speaker 4: prince expects the luster in your eye, heaven in your cheek.
Speaker 4: Plead your fair usage, and to Diabed you shall be
Speaker 4: mistress and command him wholly.
Speaker 1: Grecian, thou dost not use me courteously to shame the
Speaker 1: zeal of my petition to THEE. In praising her, I
Speaker 1: tell THEE, Lord of Greece, she is as far high
Speaker 1: soaring o'er thy praises as thou unworthy to be called
Speaker 1: a servant I charge thee youth her well, even for
Speaker 1: my charge by the dreadful Pluto. If thou dost not,
Speaker 1: though the great bulk Achilles be thy guard, I'll cut
Speaker 1: thy throat.
Speaker 4: Oh, be not moved, Prince Troylus. Let me be privileged
Speaker 4: by my place and message to be a speaker free
Speaker 4: when I am Hence, I'll answer to my lust and
Speaker 4: know you Lord, I'll nothing do on charge to her
Speaker 4: own worth. She shall be prized, But that you say,
Speaker 4: be it, so I speak it in my spirit and honor.
Speaker 1: No, come to the poet, I'll tell thee Diarymede, this
Speaker 1: brave shall oft make thee to hide Thy head lady,
Speaker 1: give me your hand, and as we walk to our
Speaker 1: own selves, bend me our needful duck. Excillant troilists Cressida
Speaker 1: and Diomedes sound trumpet, hark hect does trumpet.
Speaker 3: How have we spent this morning? The Prince must think
Speaker 3: me hardy and remiss that swore to ride before him
Speaker 3: to the.
Speaker 2: Field tis troiless fault. Come come to field with him.
Speaker 1: Let us make ready straight yea.
Speaker 3: With the bridegroom's fresh alacrity, lead us address to tend
Speaker 3: on headtor's heels the glory of our Troy, doth this
Speaker 3: day lie on his fair worth and single chivalry excillant.
Speaker 1: Scene five, the Grecian camp lists set out enter Ajax,
Speaker 1: armed Agamemnon, Achilles, Patroclus, Menelaeus, Ulysses, Nest and others.
Speaker 4: Here art thou in appointment, fresh and fair, anticipating time,
Speaker 4: with starting courage, give with thy trumpet a loud note
Speaker 4: to Troy, thou, dreadful Ajax, that the apolled air may
Speaker 4: pierce the head of the great combatant, and hail him hither.
Speaker 5: Thou trumpet is my purse.
Speaker 2: Now crack thy lungs and split thy brazen pipe. Blow villain,
Speaker 2: till thy speared by his cheek outswell the colic of
Speaker 2: puffed Aquilon. Come stretch thy chest and let thy eyes
Speaker 2: spout blood. Thou blowest ferrectuer.
Speaker 1: Trumpet sounds No trumpet answers tis, but early.
Speaker 4: Days is not young Diomede with calcust.
Speaker 1: Tis he in the manner of his gage. He rises
Speaker 1: on the toe, that spirit of his in aspiration lifts
Speaker 1: him from the earth. Enter Diomedes and Cressida.
Speaker 4: Is this the lady Crescid, even she most dearly welcome
Speaker 4: to the Greeks.
Speaker 5: Sweet lady, our general does salute you with a kiss.
Speaker 1: Yet is the kindness but particular to a better she
Speaker 1: were kissed in general, and.
Speaker 5: Very courtly counseled. I'll begin.
Speaker 2: So much for nister.
Speaker 1: I'll take that winter from your lips.
Speaker 4: Fair lady.
Speaker 1: Achilles bits you welcome.
Speaker 2: I had a good argument for kissing ones, but that's.
Speaker 3: No argument for kissing now. For thus popped Paris in
Speaker 3: his hearty mind, and party does you and your argument.
Speaker 1: Oh deadly gall and theme of all our scorns for
Speaker 1: which we lose our heads to gild his horns.
Speaker 3: The first was Menelaeus kiss this mine, Patroclus kisses you. Oh,
Speaker 3: this is trim Paris, and I kiss ever more for him.
Speaker 2: I'll have my kiss, sir, lady, buy your leave in kissing?
Speaker 3: Do you render or receive? Both take and give. I'll
Speaker 3: make my match to live. The kiss you take is
Speaker 3: better than you give.
Speaker 2: Therefore no kiss, I'll give you boot. I'll give you
Speaker 2: three for one.
Speaker 3: You are an odd man, give even or give none.
Speaker 2: An odd man, lady, every man is odd.
Speaker 3: No Paris is not for you. Notice true that you
Speaker 3: are odd, and he is even with you.
Speaker 2: You filip me other head.
Speaker 3: No, I'll be sworn.
Speaker 1: It will then match. You'll nail against this horn. May I,
Speaker 1: sweet lady, beg a kiss of you? You? May I
Speaker 1: do desire it?
Speaker 3: Why beg? Then?
Speaker 1: Why then, for Venus's sake, give me a kiss when
Speaker 1: Helen is a maid again?
Speaker 3: And is I am your debtor? Claim it when tissed you?
Speaker 1: Never's my day? And then a kiss of you.
Speaker 4: Lady, a word I'll bring you to your father.
Speaker 1: Exit with Cressetta, a woman of quickshinch thigh figh upon her.
Speaker 1: There's language in her eye, her cheek, her lip, nay,
Speaker 1: her foot speaks her wanton spirits. Look out at every
Speaker 1: joint and motive of the body. Oh, these encounter is
Speaker 1: so glib of tongue that give a coasting welcome. Here
Speaker 1: it comes and wide. Unclasp the tables of their thoughts
Speaker 1: to every tickling reader, set them down for sluttish spoilers
Speaker 1: of opportunity and daughters of the game. Trumpet within the.
Speaker 4: Detroit trumpet yonder comes.
Speaker 1: The troop enter Hector, armed Eneas, Troylis, Paris Diiphabus and
Speaker 1: other Troyans with attendants.
Speaker 3: Hal all you State of Greece, what shall be done
Speaker 3: to him that victory commands? Or do you purpose a victor?
Speaker 3: Shall be known well you the night shall to the
Speaker 3: edge of all extremity, pursue each other, or shall be
Speaker 3: divided by any voice or order of the field. Hector obeyed.
Speaker 4: Ask which way would Hector have it?
Speaker 3: He cares not. He'll obey conditions.
Speaker 4: Tis done like Hector.
Speaker 1: But securely done, a little, proudly and great deal misprizing
Speaker 1: the night a post.
Speaker 3: If not Achilles, sir, what is your name?
Speaker 8: If not Achilles, nothing therefore Achilles, but whatever know this,
Speaker 8: in the extremity of great and little valor and pride
Speaker 8: excel themselves in Hector, the one almost as infinite as
Speaker 8: all the other, blank as nothing weigh him well.
Speaker 3: And that which looks like pride is courtesy. This ajax
Speaker 3: is half made of Hector's blood in love, whereof half
Speaker 3: Hector stays at home, half heart, half hand, half Hector
Speaker 3: comes to seek this splendid knight, half Troyon and half Greek.
Speaker 1: A maiden battle. Then, ah, I perceive you re enter Diomedes.
Speaker 4: Here is the diomide. Go, gentle Knight, stand by our ajax,
Speaker 4: as you and lord and NEAs consent upon the order
Speaker 4: of their fight, so be it either to the uttermost
Speaker 4: or else a breath. The combatants, being king, half stints
Speaker 4: their strife before their strokes begin.
Speaker 1: Ajax and Hector enter the lists. They are opposed already.
Speaker 4: What troyer is that saying that looks so heavy?
Speaker 1: The youngest son of Priam, a true knight, not yet mature,
Speaker 1: yet matchless, firm of word, speaking in deeds, and needless
Speaker 1: in his tongue, not soon provoked nor being provoked soon calmed.
Speaker 1: Is heart and hand, both open and both free.
Speaker 4: For what he has.
Speaker 1: He gives, what thinks he shows, yet gives he not
Speaker 1: till judgment. Guide is bounty, nor dignifies an impure thought
Speaker 1: with breath, manly as Hector, but more dangerous. For Hector,
Speaker 1: in his blaze of wrath, subscribes to tent objects. But
Speaker 1: he in heat of action, is more vindictive than jealous love.
Speaker 1: They call him troyless, and on him erect a second hope,
Speaker 1: as fairly built as Hector, thus says in years one
Speaker 1: that knows the youth even to his inches, and with
Speaker 1: private soul did in great ilien. Thus translate him to
Speaker 1: me alarum. Hector and ajax fight.
Speaker 4: They are in action.
Speaker 5: No Egypt, who thy known?
Speaker 1: Hector, those leapst awake thee.
Speaker 4: His blows are well disposed.
Speaker 1: Their ajax trumpets cease.
Speaker 3: You must know more, princess enough.
Speaker 5: So please you.
Speaker 2: I am not warm yet.
Speaker 4: Let just fight you again, as Hector pleases. Why then
Speaker 4: I will no more. Thou art, great lord, my father
Speaker 4: sister's son, a cousin German to great prime seed. The
Speaker 4: obligation of our blood forbids a gory emulation TwixT us twain,
Speaker 4: were thy comixed in Greek and Troyan, so that thou
Speaker 4: couldst say, this hand is Grecian all, and this is Troyan.
Speaker 4: The situs of this leg all Greek, and this all
Speaker 4: troy My mother's blood runs on the dexter cheek, and
Speaker 4: this sinister bounds in my father's. By Joe's multipotent Thou
Speaker 4: shouldst not bear from me a Greekish member, wherein my
Speaker 4: sword had not impression made of our rank feud. But
Speaker 4: the just God's gainsay that any drop thou borrow'st from
Speaker 4: thy mother, my sacred aunt, should by my mortal sword,
Speaker 4: be drained. Let me embrace the ajax by him that thunders,
Speaker 4: Thou hast lusty arms. Hector would have them fall upon him. Thus, Cousin,

Speaker 5: I have thou gallant Troy, and seen THEE oft laboring
Speaker 5: for destiny, make cruel way through ranks of Greekish youth.
Speaker 5: And I have seen THEE as hot as Persius, spur
Speaker 5: thy Phrygian steed, despising many forfeits and subdiments. When thou
Speaker 5: hast hung thy advance sword in the air, not letting
Speaker 5: it decline on the declined that I have said to

Speaker 1: is but half his journey. Yet the Yonder walls that
Speaker 1: partly front your town, yon towers, whose wanton tops two busts,
Speaker 1: the clouds must kiss their own feet.
Speaker 4: I must not believe you. There they stand yet, and modestly.
Speaker 4: I think the fall of every Phrygian stone will cost
Speaker 4: a drop of Grecian blood. The end crowns all, and
Speaker 4: that old common arbitrator time will one day end it.
Speaker 1: So to him we'll leave it, most gentle and most
