Act V, Scene vi:
Another part of the plain

[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—

[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 befriend 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.

[Re-enter TROILUS.]

How now, my brother!

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 thou end my life to-day.

[Exit.]

[Enter one in 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.

[Exeunt.]
