TROILUS。 O plague and madness！ ULYSSES。 You are moved； Prince； let
us depart； I pray； Lest your displeasure should enlarge itself To wrathful
terms。 This place is dangerous； The time right deadly； I beseech you； go。
TROILUS。 Behold； I pray you。 ULYSSES。 Nay； good my lord； go off； You
flow to great distraction； come； my lord。 TROILUS。 I prithee stay。

THE HISTORY OF TROILUS AND CRESSIDA
ULYSSES。 You have not patience； come。 TROILUS。 I pray you； stay； by
hell and all hell's torments； I will not speak a word。 DIOMEDES。 And so；
good night。 CRESSIDA。 Nay； but you part in anger。 TROILUS。 Doth that
grieve thee？ O withered truth！ ULYSSES。 How now； my lord？ TROILUS。
By Jove； I will be patient。 CRESSIDA。 Guardian！ Why； Greek！
DIOMEDES。 Fo； fo！ adieu！ you palter。 CRESSIDA。 In faith； I do not。
Come hither once again。 ULYSSES。 You shake； my lord； at something；
will you go？ You will break out。 TROILUS。 She strokes his cheek。
ULYSSES。 Come； come。 TROILUS。 Nay； stay； by Jove； I will not speak a
word： There is between my will and all offences A guard of patience。 Stay
a little while。 THERSITES。 How the devil luxury； with his fat rump and
potato finger； tickles these together！ Fry； lechery； fry！ DIOMEDES。 But
will you； then？ CRESSIDA。 In faith； I will； lo； never trust me else。
DIOMEDES。 Give me some token for the surety of it。 CRESSIDA。 I'll
fetch you one。 Exit ULYSSES。 You have sworn patience。 TROILUS。 Fear
me not； my lord； I will not be myself； nor have cognition Of what I feel。 I
am all patience。
Re…enter CRESSIDA
THERSITES。 Now the pledge； now； now； now！ CRESSIDA。 Here；
Diomed； keep this sleeve。 TROILUS。 O beauty！ where is thy faith？
ULYSSES。 My lord！ TROILUS。 I will be patient； outwardly I will。
CRESSIDA。 You look upon that sleeve； behold it well。 He lov'd me…O
false wench！…Give't me again。 DIOMEDES。 Whose was't？ CRESSIDA。 It
is no matter； now I ha't again。 I will not meet with you to…morrow night。 I
prithee； Diomed； visit me no more。 THERSITES。 Now she sharpens。 Well
said； whetstone。 DIOMEDES。 I shall have it。 CRESSIDA。 What； this？
DIOMEDES。 Ay； that。 CRESSIDA。 O all you gods！ O pretty； pretty pledge！
Thy master now lies thinking on his bed Of thee and me； and sighs； and
takes my glove； And gives memorial dainty kisses to it； As I kiss thee。 Nay；
do not snatch it from me； He that takes that doth take my heart withal。
DIOMEDES。 I had your heart before； this follows it。 TROILUS。 I did
swear patience。 CRESSIDA。 You shall not have it； Diomed； faith； you
shall not； I'll give you something else。 DIOMEDES。 I will have this。
Whose was it？ CRESSIDA。 It is no matter。 DIOMEDES。 Come； tell me

THE HISTORY OF TROILUS AND CRESSIDA
whose it was。 CRESSIDA。 'Twas one's that lov'd me better than you will。
But； now you have it； take it。 DIOMEDES。 Whose was it？ CRESSIDA。
By all Diana's waiting women yond； And by herself； I will not tell you
whose。 DIOMEDES。 To…morrow will I wear it on my helm； And grieve his
spirit that dares not challenge it。 TROILUS。 Wert thou the devil and wor'st
it on thy horn； It should be challeng'd。 CRESSIDA。 Well； well； 'tis done；
'tis past； and yet it is not； I will not keep my word。 DIOMEDES。 Why；
then farewell； Thou never shalt mock Diomed again。 CRESSIDA。 You
shall not go。 One cannot speak a word But it straight starts you。
DIOMEDES。 I do not like this fooling。 THERSITES。 Nor I； by Pluto； but
that that likes not you Pleases me best。 DIOMEDES。 What； shall I come？
The hour… CRESSIDA。 Ay； come…O Jove！ Do come。 I shall be plagu'd。
DIOMEDES。 Farewell till then。 CRESSIDA。 Good night。 I prithee come。
Exit DIOMEDES Troilus； farewell！ One eye yet looks on thee； But with
my heart the other eye doth see。 Ah； poor our sex！ this fault in us I find；
The error of our eye directs our mind。 What error leads must err； O； then
conclude； Minds sway'd by eyes are full of turpitude。 Exit THERSITES。 A
proof of strength she could not publish more； Unless she said 'My mind is
now turn'd whore。' ULYSSES。 All's done； my lord。 TROILUS。 It is。
ULYSSES。 Why stay we； then？ TROILUS。 To make a recordation to my
soul Of every syllable that here was spoke。 But if I tell how these two did
coact； Shall I not lie in publishing a truth？ Sith yet there is a credence in
my heart； An esperance so obstinately strong； That doth invert th' attest of
eyes and ears； As if those organs had deceptious functions Created only to
calumniate。 Was Cressid here？ ULYSSES。 I cannot conjure； Troyan。
TROILUS。 She was not； sure。 ULYSSES。 Most sure she was。 TROILUS。
Why； my negation hath no taste of madness。 ULYSSES。 Nor mine； my
lord。 Cressid was here but now。 TROILUS。 Let it not be believ'd for
womanhood。 Think； we had mothers； do not give advantage To stubborn
critics； apt； without a theme； For depravation； to square the general sex By
Cressid's rule。 Rather think this not Cressid。 ULYSSES。 What hath she
done； Prince； that can soil our mothers？ TROILUS。 Nothing at all； unless
that this were she。 THERSITES。 Will 'a swagger himself out on's own
eyes？ TROILUS。 This she？ No； this is Diomed's Cressida。 If beauty have a

soul； this is not she； If souls guide vows； if vows be sanctimonies； If
sanctimony be the god's delight； If there be rule in unity itself； This was
not she。 O madness of discourse； That cause sets up with and against itself！
Bifold authority！ where reason can revolt Without perdition； and loss
assume all reason Without revolt： this is； and is not； Cressid。 Within my
soul there doth conduce a fight Of this strange nature； that a thing
inseparate Divides more wider than the sky and earth； And yet the
spacious breadth of this division Admits no orifex for a point as subtle As
Ariachne's broken woof to enter。 Instance； O instance！ strong as Pluto's
gates： Cressid is mine； tied with the bonds of heaven。 Instance； O instance！
strong as heaven itself： The bonds of heaven are slipp'd； dissolv'd； and
loos'd； And with another knot； five…finger…tied； The fractions of her faith；
orts of her love； The fragments； scraps； the bits； and greasy relics Of her
o'er…eaten faith； are bound to Diomed。 ULYSSES。 May worthy Troilus be
half…attach'd With that which here his passion doth express？ TROILUS。 Ay；
Greek； and that shall be divulged well In characters as red as Mars his
heart Inflam'd with Venus。 Never did young man fancy With so eternal and
so fix'd a soul。 Hark； Greek： as much as I do Cressid love； So much by
weight hate I her Diomed。 That sleeve is mine that he'll bear on his helm；
Were it a casque compos'd by Vulcan's skill My sword should bite it。 Not
the dreadful spout Which shipmen do the hurricano call； Constring'd in
mass by the almighty sun； Shall dizzy with more clamour Neptune's ear In
his descent than shall my prompted sword Falling on Diomed。
THERSITES。 He'll tickle it for his concupy。 TROILUS。 O Cressid！ O false
Cressid！ false； false； false！ Let all untruths stand by thy stained name； And
they'll seem glorious。 ULYSSES。 O； contain yourself； Your passion draws
ears hither。
Enter AENEAS
AENEAS。 I have been seeking you this hour； my lord。 Hector； by this；
is arming him in Troy； Ajax； your guard； stays to conduct you home。
TROILUS。 Have with you； Prince。 My courteous lord； adieu。 Fairwell；
revolted fair！…and； Diomed； Stand fast and wear a castle on thy head。
ULYSSES。 I'll bring you to the gates。 TROILUS。 Accept distracted thanks。
Exeunt TROILUS； AENEAS。 and ULYSSES

like a raven； I
