Act 5, Scene 6
Another part of the plains.
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 both! 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 befriends 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. How now, my brother! Re-enter TROILUS.
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 I end my life to-day. Exit.Enter one in sumptuous 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.
