Troilus and Cressida

Troilus and Cressida

ACT V SCENE VII	Another part of the plains.
	Enter ACHILLES, with Myrmidons
ACHILLES	Come here about me, you my Myrmidons;
	Mark what I say. Attend me where I wheel:
	Strike not a stroke, but keep yourselves in breath:
	And when I have the bloody Hector found,	5
	Empale him with your weapons round about;
	In fellest manner execute your aims.
	Follow me, sirs, and my proceedings eye:
	It is decreed Hector the great must die.
	Exeunt
	Enter MENELAUS and PARIS, fighting:then THERSITES
THERSITES	The cuckold and the cuckold-maker are at it. Now,	10
	bull! now, dog! 'Loo, Paris, 'loo! now my double-
	henned sparrow! 'loo, Paris, 'loo! The bull has the
	game: ware horns, ho!
	Exeunt PARIS and MENELAUS
	Enter MARGARELON
MARGARELON	Turn, slave, and fight.
THERSITES	What art thou?	15
MARGARELON	A bastard son of Priam's.
THERSITES	I am a bastard too; I love bastards: I am a bastard
	begot, bastard instructed, bastard in mind, bastard
	in valour, in every thing illegitimate. One bear will
	not bite another, and wherefore should one bastard?	20
	Take heed, the quarrel's most ominous to us: if the
	son of a whore fight for a whore, he tempts judgment:
	farewell, bastard.
	Exit
MARGARELON	The devil take thee, coward!
	Exit
