Home Shakespeare The History of Troilus and Cressida |
Come here about me, you my Myrmidons;Exeunt
Mark what I say. Attend me where I wheel:
Strike not a stroke, but keep yourselves in breath:
And when I have the bloody Hector found,
Empale him with your weapons round about;
In fellest manner execute your aims.
Follow me, sirs, and my proceedings eye:
It is decreed Hector the great must die.
The cuckold and the cuckold-maker are at it. Now,Exeunt PARIS and MENELAUS
bull! now, dog! 'Loo, Paris, 'loo! now my double-
henned sparrow! 'loo, Paris, 'loo! The bull has the
game: ware horns, ho!
Turn, slave, and fight.THERSITES
What art thou?MARGARELON
A bastard son of Priam's.THERSITES
I am a bastard too; I love bastards: I am a bastardExit
begot, bastard instructed, bastard in mind, bastard
in valour, in every thing illegitimate. One bear will
not bite another, and wherefore should one bastard?
Take heed, the quarrel's most ominous to us: if the
son of a whore fight for a whore, he tempts judgment:
farewell, bastard.
The devil take thee, coward!Exit
