Troylus and Cressida. He is not emulous, as Achilles is. Vlis.
[1405]
'Know the whole world, he is as valiant.
Aia.

A horson dog, that dial palter thus with vs, would he were a Troian.

Nest.

What a vice were it in Aiax now⸺

Ulis.

If he were proud.

Dio.

Or couetous of praise.

Vlis.
[1410]

I, or surley borne.

Dio.

Or strange, or selfe affected.

Vl. Thank the heauens L. Lord thou art of sweet composure; Praise him that got thee, she that gaue thee sucke: Fame be thy Tutor, and thy part of nature
[1415]
Thrice fam'd beyond, beyond all erudition; But he that disciplin'd thy armes to fight, Let Mars deuide Eternity in twaine, And giue him halfe. and for thy vigour, Bull‑bearing Milo: his addition yeelde
[1420]
To sinnowie Aiax: I will not praise thy wisdome, Which like a bourne, a pale, a shore confines Thy spacious and dilated parts; here's Nestor Instructed by the Antiquary times: He must, he is, he cannot but be wise.
[1425]
But pardon Father Nestor, were your days As greene as Aiax, and your braine so temper'd, You should not haue the eminence of him, But be as Aiax.
Aia.

Shall I call you Father?

Ulis.
[1430]

I my good Sonne.

Dio.

Be rul'd by him Lord Aiax.

Vlis. There is no tarrying here, the Hart Achilles Keepes thicket: please it our Generall, To call together all his state of warre,
[1435]
Fresh Kings are come to Troy; to morrow We must with all our maine of power stand fast: And here's a Lord, come Knights from East to West, And cull their flowre, Aiax shall cope the best.
Ag. Goe we to Counsaile, let Achilles sleepe;
[1440]
Light Botes may saile swift, though greater bulkes draw deepe.
Exeunt. Musicke sounds within.
[Act 3, Scene 1] Enter Pandarus and a Seruant. Pan.

Friend, you, pray you a word: Doe not you fol­

low the yong Lord Paris?

Ser.

I sir, when he goes before me.

Pan.

You depend vpon him I meane?

Ser.
[1445]

Sir, I doe depend vpon the Lord.

Pan.

You depend vpon a noble Gentleman: I must

needes praise him.

Ser.

The Lord be praised.

Pa.

You know me, doe you not?

Ser.
[1450]

Faith sir, superficially.

Pa.

Friend know me better, I am the Lord Pandarus.

Ser.

I hope I shall know your honour better.

Pa.

I doe desire it.

title: What Musique is this?

Ser.

Ser.

That's too't indeede sir: marry sir, at the request

[1470]

of Paris my L. Lord who's there in person; with him the mor­

tall Venus, the heart bloud of beauty, loues inuisible

soule.

Pa.

Who? my Cosin Cressida.

Ser.

No Sir, Helen, could you not finde out that by

[1475]

her attributes?

Pa.

It should seeme fellow, that thou hast not seen the

Lady Cressida. I come to speake with Paris from the

Prince Troylus: I will make a complementall assault vpon

him, for my businesse seethes.

Ser.
[1480]
Sodden businesse, there's a stewed phrase indeede.
Enter Paris and Helena. Pan.

Faire be to you my Lord, and to all this faire com­

pany: faire desires in all faire measure fairely guide them,

especially to you faire Queene, faire thoughts be your

faire pillow.

Hel.
[1485]

Deere L. Lord you are full of faire words.

peece of your performance. Nel, he is full of harmony.

Pan.

Rude in sooth, in good sooth very rude.

Paris. Well said my Lord: well, you say so in fits. Pan.
[1495]

Hel.

Nay, this shall not hedge vs out, weele heare you

You shall not bob vs out of our melody:

Pan.

Sweete Queene, sweete Queene, that's a sweete

Queene I faith⸺

Hel.

And to make a sweet Lady sad, is a sower offence.

Pan.
[1510]

Nay, that shall not serue your turne that shall it

And my Lord he desires you, that if the King call for him

at Supper, you will make his excuse.

Hel.

What saies my sweete Queene, my very, very sweete Queene?
Par. What exploit's in hand, where sups he to night? Hel.

Nay but my Lord?

Pan.

Hel.

She shall haue it my Lord, if it be not my Lord

Paris.

Pand.
[1535]
Hee? no, sheele none of him, they two are twaine.
Hel.

Falling in after falling out, may make them three.

Pan.

Come, come, Ile heare no more of this, Ile sing

you a song now.

Hel.

I, I, prethee now: by my troth sweet Lord thou

[1540]

hast a fine fore‑head.

Pan.

I you may, you may.

Hel. Let thy song be loue: this loue will vndoe vs al. Oh Cupid, Cupid, Cupid. Pan.

Loue? I that it shall yfaith.

Par.
[1545]
I, good now loue, loue, nothing but loue.
Pan. In good troth it begins so. Loue, loue, nothing but loue, still more: For O loues Bow, Shootes Bucke and Doe:
[1550]
The Shaft confounds not that it wounds, But tickles still the sore: These Louers cry, oh ho they dye; Yet that which seemes the wound to kill. Doth turne oh ho, to ha ha he:
[1555]
So dying loue liues still, O ho a while, but ha ha ha, O ho grones out for ha ha ha⸺hey ho.
Hel.

In loue yfaith to the very tip of the nose.

Par.

He eates nothing but doues loue, and that breeds

[1560]

hot bloud, and hot bloud begets hot thoughts, and hot

thoughts beget hot deedes, and hot deedes is loue.

Pan.

Is this the generation of loue? Hot bloud, hot

thoughts, and hot deedes, why they are Vipers, is Loue a

generation of Vipers?

[1565]
Sweete Lord whose a field to day?
Par.

Hector Deiphœbus, Helenus, Anthenor, and all the

gallantry of Troy. I would faine haue arm'd to day, but

my Nell would not haue it so.

How chance my brother Troylus went not?
Hel.
[1570]
He hangs the lippe at something; you know all Lord Pandarus?
Pan. Not I hony sweete Queene: I long to heare how they sped to day: Youle remember your brothers excuse? Par.

To a hayre.

Pan.

Farewell sweete Queene.

Hel.
[1575]

Commend me to your Neece.

Pan.

I will sweete Queene.

Sound a retreat. Par. They're come from fielde: let vs to Priams Hall To greete the Warriers. Sweet Hellen, I must woe you, To helpe vnarme our Hector: his stubborne Buckles,
[1580]
With these your white enchanting fingers toucht, Shall more obey then to the edge of Steele, Or force of Greekish sinewes: you shall doe more Then all the Iland Kings, disarme great Hector.
Hel. 'Twill make vs proud to be his seruant Paris:
[1585]
Yea what he shall rcceiue of vs in duetie, Giues vs more palme in beautie then we haue: Yea ouershines our selfe. Sweete aboue thought I loue thee.
Exeunt.
