AGAMEMNON。 March patiently along。 Let one be sent To pray Achilles
see us at our tent。 If in his death the gods have us befriended； Great Troy is
ours； and our sharp wars are ended。 Exeunt

THE HISTORY OF TROILUS AND CRESSIDA
SCENE 10。 Another part of the plain
Enter AENEAS； PARIS； ANTENOR； and DEIPHOBUS
AENEAS。 Stand； ho！ yet are we masters of the field。 Never go home；
here starve we out the night。
Enter TROILUS
TROILUS。 Hector is slain。 ALL。 Hector！ The gods forbid！ TROILUS。
He's dead； and at the murderer's horse's tail； In beastly sort； dragg'd
through the shameful field。 Frown on； you heavens； effect your rage with
speed。 Sit； gods； upon your thrones； and smile at Troy。 I say at once let
your brief plagues be mercy； And linger not our sure destructions on。
AENEAS。 My lord； you do discomfort all the host。 TROILUS。 You
understand me not that tell me so。 I do not speak of flight； of fear of death；
But dare all imminence that gods and men Address their dangers in。
Hector is gone。 Who shall tell Priam so； or Hecuba？ Let him that will a
screech…owl aye be call'd Go in to Troy； and say there 'Hector's dead。'
There is a word will Priam turn to stone； Make wells and Niobes of the
maids and wives； Cold statues of the youth； and； in a word； Scare Troy out
of itself。 But； march away； Hector is dead； there is no more to say。 Stay yet。
You vile abominable tents； Thus proudly pight upon our Phrygian plains；
Let Titan rise as early as he dare； I'll through and through you。 And； thou
great…siz'd coward； No space of earth shall sunder our two hates； I'll haunt
thee like a wicked conscience still； That mouldeth goblins swift as frenzy's
thoughts。 Strike a free march to Troy。 With comfort go； Hope of revenge
shall hide our inward woe。
Enter PANDARUS
PANDARUS。 But hear you； hear you！ TROILUS。 Hence； broker…
lackey。 Ignominy and shame Pursue thy life and live aye with thy name！
Exeunt all but PANDARUS PANDARUS。 A goodly medicine for my
aching bones！ world！ world！ thus is the poor agent despis'd！ traitors and
bawds； how earnestly are you set a work； and how ill requited！ Why
should our endeavour be so lov'd； and the performance so loathed？ What
verse for it？ What instance for it？ Let me see…
Full merrily the humble…bee doth sing Till he hath lost his honey and

his sting； And being once subdu'd in armed trail； Sweet honey and sweet
notes together fail。
Good traders in the flesh； set this in your painted cloths。 As many as
be here of pander's hall； Your eyes； half out； weep out at Pandar's fall； Or；
if you cannot weep； yet give some groans； Though not for me； yet for your
aching bones。 Brethren and sisters of the hold…door trade； Some two
months hence my will shall here be made。 It should be now； but that my
fear is this； Some galled goose of Winchester would hiss。 Till then I'll
sweat and seek about for eases； And at that time bequeath you my diseases。
Exit
THE END
