Act V, 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? 3515

• 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, 3520
  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! 3525

[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! 3530

• 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; 3535
  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! 3540

[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! 3545
  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; 3550
  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]
