ACT IV.
SCENE I. _Troy. A street._
_Enter, at one side_, ÆNEAS, _and_ Servant _with a torch; at
the other_, PARIS, DEIPHOBUS, ANTENOR, DIOMEDES, _and
others, with torches_.[1820]
_Par._ See, ho! who is that there?[1821][1822]
_Dei._ It is the Lord Æneas.[1822]
_Æne._ Is the prince there in person?[1823]
Had I so good occasion to lie long
As you, Prince Paris, nothing but heavenly business[1824] 5
Should rob my bed-mate of my company.
_Dio._ That's my mind too. Good morrow, Lord Æneas.
_Par._ A valiant Greek, Æneas,--take his hand,--
Witness the process of your speech, wherein[1825]
You told how Diomed a whole week by days[1825][1826] 10
Did haunt you in the field.[1827]
_Æne._ Health to you, valiant sir,[1828]
During all question of the gentle truce;[1829]
But when I meet you arm'd, as black defiance
As heart can think or courage execute. 15
_Dio._ The one and other Diomed embraces.[1830]
Our bloods are now in calm; and, so long, health;
But when contention and occasion meet,[1831]
By Jove, I'll play the hunter for thy life
With all my force, pursuit and policy.[1832] 20
_Æne._ And thou shalt hunt a lion, that will fly
With his face backward. In humane gentleness,[1833]
Welcome to Troy! now, by Anchises' life,
Welcome, indeed! By Venus' hand I swear,
No man alive can love in such a sort 25
The thing he means to kill more excellently.
_Dio._ We sympathise. Jove, let Æneas live,
If to my sword his fate be not the glory,
A thousand complete courses of the sun!
But, in mine emulous honour, let him die, 30
With every joint a wound, and that to-morrow.[1834]
_Æne._ We know each other well.[1835]
_Dio._ We do; and long to know each other worse.[1835]
