_Thers._ Good, good, by Pluto! their fool's mad, to lose his harlot; and our fool's mad, that t'other fool had her first. If I sought peace now, I could tell 'em there's punk enough to satisfy 'em both: whore sufficient! but let 'em worry one another, the foolish curs; they think they never can have enough of carrion. _AEn._ My lords, this fury is not proper here In time of truce; if either side be injured, To-morrow's sun will rise apace, and then-- _Troil._ And then! but why should I defer till then? My blood calls now, there is no truce for traitors; My vengeance rolls within my breast; it must, It will have vent,-- [_Draws._ _Diom._ Hinder us not, AEneas, My blood rides high as his; I trust thy honour, And know thou art too brave a foe to break it.-- [_Draws._ _Thers._ Now, moon! now shine, sweet moon! let them have just light enough to make their passes; and not enough to ward them. _AEn._ [_Drawing too._] By heaven, he comes on this, who strikes the first. You both are mad; is this like gallant men, To fight at midnight; at the murderer's hour; When only guilt and rapine draw a sword? Let night enjoy her dues of soft repose; But let the sun behold the brave man's courage. And this I dare engage for Diomede,-- For though I am,--he shall not hide his head, But meet you in the very face of danger. _Diom._ [_Putting up._] Be't so; and were it on some precipice, High as Olympus, and a sea beneath, Call when thou dar'st, just on the sharpest point I'll meet, and tumble with thee to destruction. _Troil._ A gnawing conscience haunts not guilty men, As I'll haunt thee, to summon thee to this; Nay, shouldst thou take the Stygian lake for refuge, I'll plunge in after, through the boiling flames, To push thee hissing down the vast abyss. _Diom._ Where shall we meet? _Troil._ Before the tent of Calchas. Thither, through all your troops, I'll fight my way; And in the sight of perjured Cressida, Give death to her through thee. _Diom._ 'Tis largely promised; But I disdain to answer with a boast. Be sure thou shalt be met. _Troil._ And thou be found. [_Exeunt_ TROILUS _and_ AENEAS _one way;_ DIOMEDE _the other._
