Enter Achilles.

ACHILLES
Now do I see thee, ha? Have at thee, Hector!
They fight.

HECTOR
Pause, if thou wilt.

ACHILLES
I do disdain thy courtesy, proud Trojan; [15]
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.

HECTOR

Fare thee well:
I would have been much more a fresher man, [20]
Had I expected thee.

Enter Troilus.

How now, my brother!

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! [25]

I reck not thought thou end my life today.
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;
