English drama
_Cas._ O, farewell, dear Hector! 80
Look, how thou diest! look, how thy eye turns pale![2310]
Look, how thy wounds do bleed at many vents![2311]
Hark, how Troy roars! how Hecuba cries out![2312]
How poor Andromache shrills her dolours forth![2313]
Behold, distraction, frenzy and amazement,[2314] 85
Like witless antics, one another meet,
And all cry 'Hector! Hector's dead! O Hector!'
_Tro._ Away! away![2315]
_Cas._ Farewell: yet, soft! Hector, I take my leave:[2316]
Thou dost thyself and all our Troy deceive. [_Exit._ 90
_Hect._ You are amazed, my liege, at her exclaim:
Go in and cheer the town: we'll forth and fight,[2317]
Do deeds worth praise and tell you them at night.[2318]
_Pri._ Farewell: the gods with safety stand about thee!
[_Exeunt severally Priam and Hector. Alarum._[2319]
_Tro._ They are at it, hark! Proud Diomed, believe,[2320] 95
I come to lose my arm, or win my sleeve.
_Enter_ PANDARUS.[2321]
_Pan._ Do you hear, my lord? do you hear?[2322][2323]
_Tro._ What now?[2322]
_Pan._ Here's a letter come from yond poor girl.[2322]
_Tro._ Let me read.[2322][2324] 100
_Pan._ A whoreson tisick, a whoreson rascally tisick so[2322][2325]
troubles me, and the foolish fortune of this girl; and what[2322]
one thing, what another, that I shall leave you one o' these[2322][2326]
days: and I have a rheum in mine eyes too, and such an[2322]
ache in my bones that, unless a man were cursed, I cannot[2322] 105
tell what to think on't. What says she there?[2322]
_Tro._ Words, words, mere words, no matter from the heart;[2322]
The effect doth operate another way. [_Tearing the letter._[2322][2327]
Go, wind, to wind, there turn and change together.[2322]
My love with words and errors still she feeds,[2322][2328] 110
But edifies another with her deeds. [_Exeunt severally._[2322][2329]
SCENE IV. _The field between Troy and the Grecian camp._
_Alarums. Excursions. Enter_ THERSITES.[2330]
