Peace for shame peace. Mark him, note him: O brave Troilus, look well upon him Niece, look you how his sword is bloodied, and his helm more hacked than Hector's, and how he looks, and how he goes? O admirable youth, he never saw three and twenty, go thy way Troilus, go thy way, had I a sister were a grace, or a daughter a Goddess, he should take his choice, O admirable man! Paris? Paris is dirt to him, and I warrant Helen to change would give an eye to boot. Here comes more. Asses, fools, dolts, chaff & bran, chaff & bran, porridge after meat, I could live and die in the eyes of Troilus, near look, near look, the Eagles are gone, crows and daws, crows and daws, I had rather be such a man as Troilus, than Agamemnon and all Greece. There is amongst the Greekes Achilles a better man than Troilus. Achilles, a dray-man, a porter, a very Camel. Well well: Well, well, why have you any discretion, have you any eyes, do you know what a man is? is not birth, beauty, good shape, discourse, manhood, learning, gentleness, virtue youth, liberality and such like, the spice & salt that season a man. I a minced man, and then to be baked with no date in the pie, for then the man's date is out: You are such a woman a man knows not at what ward you lie: Upon my back to defend my belly, upon my wit to defend my wiles, upon my secrecy to defend mine honesty, my mask to defend my beauty, and you to defend all these: and at all these wards I lie, at a thousand watches. Say one of your watches. Nay I'll watch you for that; and that's one of the chiefest of them two: If I cannot ward what I would not have hit: I can watch you for telling how I took the blow unless it swell passed hiding and then its past watching: You are such another: Sir my Lord would instantly speak with you. Where? At your own house there he unarmes him: Good boy tell him I come, I doubt he be hurt, fare ye well good Niece: Adieu uncle: I will be with you Niece by and by: To bring uncle: I a token from Troilus: By the same token you are a Bawd, Worde, vows, gifts, tears and loves full sacrifice: He offers in another's enterprise, But more in Troilus thousand fold I see, Then in the glass of Panders praise may be: Yet hold I off: women are angels wooing, Things won are done, joys foul lies in the doing. That she beloved, knows nought that knows not this, Men price the thing vngaind more than it is, That she was never yet that ever knew Love got so sweet, as when desire did sue, Therefore this maxim out of love I teach, achievement is command; vngaind beseech, Then though my hearts content firm love doth bear, Nothing of that shall from mine eyes appear.
