Hark they are coming from the field, shall we stand up here and see them, as they pass toward Ilium, good Niece do, sweet Niece Cressida. At your pleasure. here, here, here's an excellent place, here we may see most bravely, I'll tell you them all by their names, as they pass by, but mark Troilus above the rest. Speak not so lowed. That's Aeneas, is not that a brave man, he's one of the flowers of Troy I can you, but merke Troilus, you shall see anon. Who's that? That's Antenor, he has a shroud wit I can tell you, and he's a man good enough, he's one o' th' soundest judgement in Troy whosoever, and a proper man of person: when comes Troilus? I'll show you Troilus anon, if he see me, you shall see him him nod at me. Will he give you the nod? You shall see. If he do, the rich shall have, more. That's Hector, that, that, look you, that there's a fellow. Go thy way Hector, there's a brave man Niece, O brave Hector! Look how he looks? there's a countenance; is't not a brave man? O brave man! Is a not? It does a man's heart good, look you what hacks are on his Helmet, look you yonder, do you see? Look you there? There's no jesting, laying on, take't off, who ill as they say, there be hacks. Be those with Swords? Swords, any thing he cares not, and the devil come to him, it's all one, by God's lid it does one's heart good. Yonder comes Paris, yonder comes Paris: look ye yonder Niece, is't not a gallant man to, is't not? Why this is brave now: who said he came hurt home to day? he's not hurt, why this will do Helen's heart good now, ha'? Would I could see Troilus now, you shall Troilus anon. Whos's that? That's Hellenus, I marvel where Troilus is, that's Helenus, I think he went not forth to day: that's Hellenus. Can Hellenus fight Uncle? Hellenus no: yes he'll fight indifferent, well, I marvel where Troilus is; hark, do you not hear the people cry Troilus? Hellenus is a Priest. What sneaking fellow comes yonder? Where? Yonder? That's Daphobus. 'Tis Troilus! there's a man Niece, him; Brave Troilus, the Prince of Chivalry. Peace, for shame peace. Mark him, not 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 ne'er 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 money to boot. here come more.
