The history
¶selfe, well the Gods are aboue, time must friend or end well
235Troylus well, I would my heart were in her body; no, Hector
¶is not a better man then Troylus.
¶Cres. Excuse me. _Pand. He is elder.
¶Cres. Pardon me, pardon me.
240Pand. Th'others not eome too't, you shall tell me another
¶tale when th'others come too't, Hector shall not haue his
¶will this yeare.
¶Cres. He shall not neede it if he haue his owne.
¶Pand. Nor his qualities.
245Cres. No matter. _Pand. Nor his beautie.
¶Cres. Twould not become him, his own's better.
¶Pan: You haue no iudgement neece; Hellen her selfe
¶swore th'other day that Troylus for a browne fauour (for so
250tis I must confesse) not browne neither.
¶Cres. No, but browne.
¶Pand. Faith to say truth, browne and not browne.
¶Cres. To say the truth, true and not true.
¶Pand. She praisd his complexion aboue Paris,
255Cres. Why Paris hath colour inough. _Pand. So he has.
¶Cres. Then Troylus should haue too much, if shce praizd
¶him aboue, his complexion is higher then his, hee
¶hauing colour enough, and the other higher, is too flaming
260a praise for a good complexion, I had as lieue Helens golden
¶tongue had commended Troylus for a copper nose.
¶Pand. I sweare to you I thinke Helen loues him better then(Paris.
¶Cres. Then shees a merry greeke indeed.
265Pand. Nay I am sure she dooes, she came to him th'other
¶day into the compast window, and you know hee has not
¶past three or foure haires on his chinne.
¶Cres. Indeed a Tapsters Arithmetique may soone bring
¶his particulars therein to a totall.
270Pand. Why he is very yong, and yet will hc within three
¶pound lifte as much as his brother Hector.
¶Cres. Is he so yong a man, and so old a lifter.
¶Pand. But to prooue to you that Hellen loues him, shee
¶eame and puts mee her white hand to his clouen chin.
275Cres. Iuno haue mercy, how came it clouen?
