 3426Aia. Troylus, thou coward Troylus, shew thy head.
 3427Enter Diomed.
 3428Diom. Troylus, I say, wher's Troylus?
 3429Aia. What would'st thou?
 3430Diom. I would correct him.
 3431Aia. Were I the Generall,
 3432Thou should'st haue my office,
 3433Ere that correction: Troylus I say, what Troylus?
 3434Enter Troylus.
 3435Troy. Oh traitour Diomed!
 3436Turne thy false face thou traytor,
 3437And pay thy life thou owest me for my horse.
 3438Dio. Ha, art thou there?
 3439Aia. Ile fight with him alone, stand Diomed.
 3440Dio. He is my prize, I will not looke vpon.

 3446Achil. Now doe I see thee; haue at thee Hector.
 3447Hect. Pause if thou wilt.
 3448Achil. I doe disdaine thy curtesie, proud Troian;
 3449Be happy that my armes are out of vse:
 3450My rest and negligence befriends thee now,
 3451But thou anon shalt heare of me againe:
 3452Till when, goe seeke thy fortune.  Exit.
 3453Hect. Fare thee well:
 3454I would haue beene much more a fresher man,
 3455Had I expected thee: how now my Brother?
 3456Enter Troylus.
 3457Troy. Aiax hath tane AEneas; shall it be?
 3458No, by the flame of yonder glorious heauen,
 3459He shall not carry him: Ile be tane too,
 3460Or bring him off: Fate heare me what I say;
 3461I wreake not, though thou end my life to day.  Exit.
 3462Enter one in Armour.
 3463Hect. Stand, stand, thou Greeke,
 3464Thou art a goodly marke:
 3465No? wilt thou not? I like thy armour well,
 3466Ile frush it, and vnlocke the riuets all,
 3467But Ile be maister of it: wilt thou not beast abide?
 3468Why then flye on, Ile hunt thee for thy hide.  Exit.
