Shakespeare, William
English drama
_Æne._ Good morrow, lord, good morrow.[1884]
_Pan._ Who's there? my Lord Æneas! By my troth,[1885][1886] 45
I knew you not: what news with you so early?[1885][1887]
_Æne._ Is not prince Troilus here?
_Pan._ Here! what should he do here?
_Æne._ Come, he is here, my lord; do not deny him:
It doth import him much to speak with me. 50
_Pan._ Is he here, say you? 'tis more than I know, I'll[1888]
be sworn: for my own part, I came in late. What should[1889]
he do here?
_Æne._ Who! nay, then: come, come, you'll do him[1890][1891]
wrong ere you are ware: you'll be so true to him, to be[1891][1892] 55
false to him: do not you know of him, but yet go fetch[1891][1893]
him hither; go.[1891]
_Re-enter_ TROILUS.[1894]
_Tro._ How now! what's the matter?
_Æne._ My lord, I scarce have leisure to salute you,
My matter is so rash: there is at hand[1895] 60
Paris your brother and Deiphobus,
The Grecian Diomed, and our Antenor
Deliver'd to us; and for him forthwith,[1896]
Ere the first sacrifice, within this hour,
We must give up to Diomedes' hand[1897] 65
The Lady Cressida.
_Tro._ Is it so concluded?[1898]
_Æne._ By Priam and the general state of Troy.[1899]
They are at hand and ready to effect it.[1900]
_Tro._ How my achievements mock me![1901]
I will go meet them: and, my Lord Æneas, 70
We met by chance; you did not find me here.
_Æne._ Good, good, my lord; the secrets of nature[1902][1903]
Have not more gift in taciturnity.[1902]
[_Exeunt Troilus and Æneas._[1904]
_Pan._ Is't possible? no sooner got but lost? The devil[1905]
take Antenor! the young prince will go mad: a plague 75
upon Antenor! I would they had broke's neck!
_Re-enter_ CRESSIDA.[1906]
_Cres._ How now! what's the matter? who was here?
_Pan._ Ah, ah![1907]
_Cres._ Why sigh you so profoundly? where's my lord?
gone! Tell me, sweet uncle, what's the matter? 80
_Pan._ Would I were as deep under the earth as I am
above!
_Cres._ O the gods! What's the matter?
_Pan._ Prithee, get thee in: would thou hadst ne'er been[1908]
born! I knew thou wouldst be his death: O, poor gentleman! 85
A plague upon Antenor!
_Cres._ Good uncle, I beseech you, on my knees I beseech[1909]
you, what's the matter?[1909]
_Pan._ Thou must be gone, wench, thou must be gone;
thou art changed for Antenor: thou must to thy father,[1910] 90
and be gone from Troilus: 'twill be his death; 'twill be his
bane; he cannot bear it.[1911]
_Cres._ O you immortal gods! I will not go.
_Pan._ Thou must.
