_Helen._ He hangs the lip at something: you know all, Lord Pandarus. _Pan._ Not I, honey-sweet queen. I long to hear how they sped to-day. You'll remember your brother's excuse? _Par._ To a hair. 135 _Pan._ Farewell, sweet queen. _Helen._ Commend me to your niece. _Pan._ I will, sweet queen. [_Exit._ [_A retreat sounded._[1587] _Par._ They're come from field: let us to Priam's hall,[1588] To greet the warriors. Sweet Helen, I must woo you 140 To help unarm our Hector: his stubborn buckles, With these your white enchanting fingers touch'd,[1589] Shall more obey than to the edge of steel Or force of Greekish sinews; you shall do more Than all the island kings,--disarm great Hector. 145 _Helen._ 'Twill make us proud to be his servant, Paris;[1590] Yea, what he shall receive of us in duty Gives us more palm in beauty than we have, Yea, overshines ourself. _Par._ Sweet, above thought I love thee. [_Exeunt._[1591] 150 SCENE II. _An orchard to Pandarus' house._ _Enter_ PANDARUS _and_ TROILUS' Boy, _meeting_.[1592] _Pan._ How now! where's thy master? at my cousin[1593] Cressida's? _Boy._ No, sir; he stays for you to conduct him thither.[1594] _Pan._ O, here he comes. _Enter_ TROILUS. How now, how now! 5 _Tro._ Sirrah, walk off. [_Exit Boy._[1595] _Pan._ Have you seen my cousin? _Tro._ No, Pandarus: I stalk about her door, Like a strange soul upon the Stygian banks[1596] Staying for waftage. O, be thou my Charon, 10 And give me swift transportance to those fields[1597] Where I may wallow in the lily-beds Proposed for the deserver! O gentle Pandarus,[1598] From Cupid's shoulder pluck his painted wings, And fly with me to Cressid! 15 _Pan._ Walk here i' the orchard, I'll bring her straight. [_Exit._[1599] _Tro._ I am giddy; expectation whirls me round.[1600] The imaginary relish is so sweet That it enchants my sense: what will it be,[1601] When that the watery palates taste indeed[1602] 20 Love's thrice repured nectar? death, I fear me,[1603] Swounding destruction, or some joy too fine,[1604] Too subtle-potent, tuned too sharp in sweetness,[1605] For the capacity of my ruder powers:[1606] I fear it much, and I do fear besides 25 That I shall lose distinction in my joys, As doth a battle, when they charge on heaps The enemy flying. _Re-enter_ PANDARUS.[1607]
