ARKCODEX
Act V, Scene 6
1Another part of the plains.
2Enter Ajax.
3AjaxTroilus, thou coward Troilus, show thy head!
4Enter Diomedes.
5DiomedesTroilus, I say! where’s Troilus?
6AjaxWhat wouldst thou?
7DiomedesI would correct him.
8AjaxWere I the general, thou shouldst have my office
Ere that correction. Troilus, I say! what, Troilus!
9Enter Troilus.
10TroilusO traitor Diomed! turn thy false face, thou traitor,
And pay thy life thou owest me for my horse!
11DiomedesHa, art thou there?
12AjaxI’ll fight with him alone: stand, Diomed.
13DiomedesHe is my prize; I will not look upon.
14TroilusCome, both you cogging Greeks; have at you both! Exeunt, fighting.
15Enter Hector.
16HectorYea, Troilus? O, well fought, my youngest brother!
17Enter Achilles.
18AchillesNow do I see thee, ha! have at thee, Hector!
19HectorPause, if thou wilt.
20AchillesI 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.
21HectorFare thee well:
I would have been much more a fresher man,
Had I expected thee. How now, my brother!
22Reenter Troilus.
23TroilusAjax 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.
24Enter one in sumptuous armour.
25HectorStand, 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.
