What was his cause of anger. The noise goes this, there is among the Greekes, A Lord of Trojan blood, Nephew to Hector. They call him. Ajax. Good; and what of him, They say he is a very man pierce and stands alone. So do all men unless the are drunk, sick, or have no legs. This man Lady, hath robbed many beasts of their particular additions, he is as valiant as the Lion, churlish as the Bear, slow as the Elephant: a man into whom nature hath so crowded humours, that his valour is crushed into folly, his folly sauced with discretion: there is no man hath a virtue, that he hath not a glimpse of, nor any man an attaint, but he carries some stain of it. He is melancholy without cause and merry against the hair, he hath the joints of every thing, but every thing so out of joint, that he is a gouty Briareus, many hands, & no use: or purblind Argus, all eyes, and no sight. But how should this man that makes me smile, make Hector angry. They say he yesterday coped Hector in the battle and stroke him down, the disdain and shame whereof hath ever since kept Hector fasting and waking. Who comes here. Madam your uncle Pandarus. Hector a gallant man. As may be in the world Lady. What's that? what's that? Good morrow uncle Pandarus. Good morrow cozen Cressida: what do you talk of? good morrow Alexander: how do you cozend, when were you at Illum? This morning uncle. What were you talking of when I came? was Hector armed and gone ere yea came to Ilium, Helen was not up was she? Hector was gone but Helen was not up? E'en so, Hector was stirring early. That were we talking of, and of his anger. Was he angry? So he says here. True he was so; I know the cause to, he'll lay about him to day I can tell them that, & there's Troilus will not come far behind him, let them take heed of Troilus; I can tell them that too. What is he angry too? Who Troilus? Troilus is the better man of the two: Oh Iupiter there's no comparison. What not between Troilus and Hector? do you know a man if you see him? ay, if I ever saw him before and knew him: Well I say Troilus is Troilus: Then you say as I say, for I am sure he is not Hector, No not Hector is not Troilus in some degrees. 'tis just, to each of them he is himself. Himself, alas poor Troilus I would he were. So he is. Condition I had gone barefoot to India. He is not Hector. Himself? no? he's not himself, would a were himself, well the Gods are above, time must friend or endwell Troilus well, I would my heart were in her body; no, Hector is not a better man than Troilus. Excuse me. He is elder. Pardon me, pardon me.
