1    Dear, trouble not yourself: the morn is cold.

2    Then, sweet my lord, I'll call mine uncle down;
3    He shall unbolt the gates.

4    Trouble him not;
5    To bed, to bed: sleep kill those pretty eyes,
6    And give as soft attachment to thy senses
7    As infants' empty of all thought!

8    Good morrow, then.

9    I prithee now, to bed.

10   Are you a-weary of me?

11   O Cressida! but that the busy day,
12   Waked by the lark, hath roused the ribald crows,
13   And dreaming night will hide our joys no longer,
14   I would not from thee.

15   Night hath been too brief.

16   Beshrew the witch! with venomous wights she stays
17   As tediously as hell, but flies the grasps of love
18   With wings more momentary-swift than thought.
19   You will catch cold, and curse me.

20   Prithee, tarry:
21   You men will never tarry.
22   O foolish Cressid! I might have still held off,
23   And then you would have tarried. Hark!
24   there's one up.

Within
25    What, 's all the doors open here?

26   It is your uncle.

27   A pestilence on him! now will he be mocking:
28   I shall have such a life!

29   How now, how now! how go maidenheads? Here, you
30   maid! where's my cousin Cressid?

31   Go hang yourself, you naughty mocking uncle!
32   You bring me to do, and then you flout me too.

33   To do what? to do what? let her say
34   what: what have I brought you to do?

35   Come, come, beshrew your heart! you'll ne'er be good,
36   Nor suffer others.

37   Ha! ha! Alas, poor wretch! ah, poor capocchia!
38   hast not slept to-night? would he not, a naughty
39   man, let it sleep? a bugbear take him!

40   Did not I tell you? Would he were knock'd i' the head!
Knocking within
41   Who's that at door? good uncle, go and see.
42   My lord, come you again into my chamber:
43   You smile and mock me, as if I meant naughtily.

44   Ha, ha!

45   Come, you are deceived, I think of no such thing.
Knocking within
46   How earnestly they knock! Pray you, come in:
47   I would not for half Troy have you seen here.

48   Who's there? what's the matter? will you beat
49   down the door? How now! what's the matter?

50   Good morrow, lord, good morrow.

51   Who's there? my Lord AEneas! By my troth,
52   I knew you not: what news with you so early?

53   Is not Prince Troilus here?

54   Here! what should he do here?

55   Come, he is here, my lord; do not deny him:
56   It doth import him much to speak with me.

57   Is he here, say you? 'tis more than I know, I'll
58   be sworn: for my own part, I came in late. What
59   should he do here?

60   Who!--nay, then: come, come, you'll do him wrong
61   ere you're ware: you'll be so true to him, to be
62   false to him: do not you know of him, but yet go
63   fetch him hither; go.

64   How now! what's the matter?

65   My lord, I scarce have leisure to salute you,
66   My matter is so rash: there is at hand
67   Paris your brother, and Deiphobus,
68   The Grecian Diomed, and our Antenor
69   Deliver'd to us; and for him forthwith,
70   Ere the first sacrifice, within this hour,
71   We must give up to Diomedes' hand
72   The Lady Cressida.

73   Is it so concluded?

74   By Priam and the general state of Troy:
75   They are at hand and ready to effect it.

76   How my achievements mock me!
77   I will go meet them: and, my Lord AEneas,
78   We met by chance; you did not find me here.

79   Good, good, my lord; the secrets of nature
80   Have not more gift in taciturnity.

81   Is't possible? no sooner got but lost? The devil
82   take Antenor! the young prince will go mad: a
83   plague upon Antenor! I would they had broke 's neck!

84   How now! what's the matter? who was here?

85   Ah, ah!

86   Why sigh you so profoundly? where's my lord? gone!
87   Tell me, sweet uncle, what's the matter?

88   Would I were as deep under the earth as I am above!

89   O the gods! what's the matter?

90   Prithee, get thee in: would thou hadst ne'er been
91   born! I knew thou wouldst be his death. O, poor
92   gentleman! A plague upon Antenor!

93   Good uncle, I beseech you, on my knees! beseech you,
94   what's the matter?

95   Thou must be gone, wench, thou must be gone; thou
96   art changed for Antenor: thou must to thy father,
97   and be gone from Troilus: 'twill be his death;
98   'twill be his bane; he cannot bear it.

99   O you immortal gods! I will not go.

100  Thou must.

101  I will not, uncle: I have forgot my father;
102  I know no touch of consanguinity;
103  No kin no love, no blood, no soul so near me
104  As the sweet Troilus. O you gods divine!
105  Make Cressid's name the very crown of falsehood,
106  If ever she leave Troilus! Time, force, and death,
107  Do to this body what extremes you can;
108  But the strong base and building of my love
109  Is as the very centre of the earth,
110  Drawing all things to it. I'll go in and weep,--

111  Do, do.

112  Tear my bright hair and scratch my praised cheeks,
113  Crack my clear voice with sobs and break my heart
114  With sounding Troilus. I will not go from Troy.
