And all my powers do their bestowing lose, [35]
Like vassalage at unawares encountering
The eye of majesty.

Enter Pandarus and Cressida, veiled.

PANDARUS
Come, come, what need you blush? Shame’s a baby. ( To Troilus ) Here she is

now: swear the oaths now to her that you have sworn to me. (To Cressida)
[40] What, are you gone again? You must be watched ere you be made
tame, must you? Come your ways, come your ways; an you draw backward,
we’ll put you i’th’fills. (To Troilus) Why do you not speak to her? (To Cressida)

Come, draw this curtain, and let’s see your [45] picture. Alas the day, how
loath you are to offend daylight! An ’twere dark, you’d close sooner. ( To
Troilus) So, so, rub on, and kiss the mistress. How now, a kiss in fee-farm!
Build there, carpenter, the air is sweet. − Nay, you shall fight your hearts out

ere I part you: the [50] falcon as the tercel, for all the ducks i’th’river − go to,
go to.

TROILUS
You have bereft me of all words, lady.

PANDARUS
Words pay no debts, give her deeds: but she’ll bereave you o’th’deeds too, if
she call your activity in [55] question. What, billing again? Here’s ‘In witness

whereof the parties interchangeably’ − Come in, come in: I’ll go get a fire.
Exit.

CRESSIDA
Will you walk in, my lord?

TROILUS
O Cressida, how often have I wished me thus! [60]

CRESSIDA
Wished, my lord! − The gods grant − O my lord!
