Enter ACHILLES AchillesNow do I see thee, ha! have at thee, Hector! HectorPause, if thou wilt. AchillesI do disdain thy courtesy, proud Trojan: Be happy that my arms are out of use: My rest and negligence befriends thee now, But thou anon shalt hear of me again; Till when, go seek thy fortune. Exit HectorFare thee well: I would have been much more a fresher man, Had I expected thee. How now, my brother! Re-enter TROILUS TroilusAjax hath ta’en AEneas: shall it be?

Exit Enter one in sumptuous armour HectorStand, stand, thou Greek; thou art a goodly mark: No? wilt thou not?
