_Alex._ This man, lady, hath robbed many beasts of their particular additions; he is as valiant as the lion, 20 churlish as the bear, slow as the elephant: a man into whom nature hath so crowded humours that his valour is crushed[989] into folly, his folly sauced with discretion: there is no man[989][990] hath a virtue that he hath not a glimpse of, nor any man an attaint but he carries some stain of it: he is melancholy 25 without cause and merry against the hair: he hath the joints of every thing; but every thing so out of joint that he is a gouty Briareus, many hands and no use, or purblind[991] Argus, all eyes and no sight. _Cres._ But how should this man, that makes me smile, 30 make Hector angry? _Alex._ They say he yesterday coped Hector in the battle and struck him down, the disdain and shame whereof[992] hath ever since kept Hector fasting and waking. _Enter_ PANDARUS.[993] _Cres._ Who comes here?[994] 35 _Alex._ Madam, your uncle Pandarus. _Cres._ Hector's a gallant man. _Alex._ As may be in the world, lady. _Pan._ What's that? what's that? _Cres._ Good morrow, uncle Pandarus. 40 _Pan._ Good morrow, cousin Cressid: what do you talk of? Good morrow, Alexander. How do you, cousin?[995] When were you at Ilium?[996] _Cres._ This morning, uncle. _Pan._ What were you talking of when I came? Was 45 Hector armed and gone ere you came to Ilium? Helen[997] was not up, was she? _Cres._ Hector was gone; but Helen was not up.[998] _Pan._ E'en so: Hector was stirring early. _Cres._ That were we talking of, and of his anger. 50 _Pan._ Was he angry? _Cres._ So he says here. _Pan._ True, he was so; I know the cause too; he'll lay about him to-day, I can tell them that: and there's Troilus will not come far behind him; let them take heed of Troilus, 55 I can tell them that too. _Cres._ What, is he angry too? _Pan._ Who, Troilus? Troilus is the better man of the[999] two. _Cres._ O Jupiter! there's no comparison. 60 _Pan._ What, not between Troilus and Hector? Do you know a man if you see him? _Cres._ Ay, if I ever saw him before and knew him. _Pan._ Well, I say Troilus is Troilus. _Cres._ Then you say as I say; for, I am sure, he is not[1000] 65 Hector.[1000] _Pan._ No, nor Hector is not Troilus in some degrees.[1001] _Cres._ 'Tis just to each of them; he is himself.[1002] _Pan._ Himself! Alas, poor Troilus! I would he were.[1003] _Cres._ So he is. 70 _Pan._ Condition, I had gone barefoot to India.[1004] _Cres._ He is not Hector.
