sh to be wooed to woo,
As she is to be won.

_Enter_ AENEAS.

_AEneas._ How now, prince Troilus; why not in the battle?

_Troil._ Because not there. This woman's answer suits me,
For womanish it is to be from thence.
What news, AEneas, from the field to-day?

_AEn._ Paris is hurt.

_Troil._ By whom?

_AEn._ By Menelaus. Hark what good sport [_Alarm within._
Is out of town to-day! When I hear such music,
I cannot hold from dancing.

_Troil._ I'll make one,
And try to lose an anxious thought or two
In heat of action.
Thus, coward-like, from love to war I run,
Seek the less dangers, and the greater shun. [_Exit_ TROIL.

_Enter_ CRESSIDA.

_Cres._ My lord AEneas, who were those went by?
I mean the ladies.

_AEn._ Queen Hecuba and Helen.

_Cres._ And whither go they?

_AEn._ Up to the western tower,
Whose height commands, as subject, all the vale,
To see the battle. Hector, whose patience
Is fixed like that of heaven, to-day was moved;
He chid Andromache, and struck his armourer,
And, as there were good husbandry in war.
Before the sun was up he went to field;
Your pardon, lady, that's my business too. [_Exit_ AENEAS.

_Cres._ Hector's a gallant warrior.

_Enter_ PANDARUS.

_Pand._ What's that, what's that?

_Cres._ Good-morrow, uncle Pandarus.

_Pand._ Good-morrow, cousin Cressida. When were you at court?

_Cres._ This morning, uncle.

_Pand._ What were you a talking, when I came? Was Hector armed, and
gone ere ye came? Hector was stirring early.

_Cres._ That I was talking of, and of his anger.

_Pand._ Was he angry, say you? true, he was so, and I know the cause.
He was struck down yesterday in the battle, but he'll lay about him;
he'll cry quittance with them to-day. I'll answer for him. And there's
Troilus will not come far behind him: let them take heed of Troilus, I
can tell them that too.

_Cres._ What, was he struck down too?

_Pand._ Who, Troilus? Troilus is the better man of the two.

_Cres._ Oh Jupiter! there's no comparison! Troilus the better man.

_Pand._ What, no comparison between Hector and Troilus? do you know a
man if you see him?

_Cres._ No: for he may look like a man, and not be one.

_Pand._ Well, I say Troilus is Troilus.

_Cres._ That's what I say; for I am sure he is not Hector.

_Pand._ No, nor Hector is not Troilus: make your best of that, niece!

_Cres._ 'Tis true, for each of them is himself.

_Pand._ Hi
