Enter 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 officeTROILUS
Ere that correction. Troilus, I say! what, Troilus!
Enter TROILUS
O traitor Diomed! turn thy false face, thou traitor,DIOMEDES
And pay thy life thou owest me for my horse!
Ha, art thou there?AJAX
I'll fight with him alone: stand, Diomed.DIOMEDES
He is my prize; I will not look upon.TROILUS

Exeunt, fighting

Enter ACHILLES
Now do I see thee, ha! have at thee, Hector!HECTOR
Pause, if thou wilt.ACHILLES
I do disdain thy courtesy, proud Trojan:HECTOR
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
Fare thee well:TROILUS
I would have been much more a fresher man,
Had I expected thee. How now, my brother!
Re-enter TROILUS
Ajax hath ta'en AEneas: shall it be?HECTOR
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
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
