                    THE HISTORY OF TROILUS AND CRESSIDA 



      SCENE 2。 The Grecian camp。 Before CALCHAS' 



                                       tent 



    Enter DIOMEDES 

       DIOMEDES。 What; are you up here; ho? Speak。 CALCHAS。 'Within' 

Who calls? DIOMEDES。 Diomed。 Calchas; I think。 Where's your daughter? 

CALCHAS。 'Within' She comes to you。 

       Enter   TROILUS       and    ULYSSES;      at   a   distance;   after  them 

THERSITES 

       ULYSSES。 Stand where the torch may not discover us。 

       Enter CRESSIDA 

       TROILUS。 Cressid comes forth to him。 DIOMEDES。 How now; my 

charge!   CRESSIDA。   Now;   my   sweet   guardian!   Hark;   a   word   with   you。 

'Whispers' TROILUS。 Yea; so familiar! ULYSSES。 She will sing any man 

at first sight。 THERSITES。 And any man may sing her; if he can take her 

cliff;   she's  noted。   DIOMEDES。        Will   you   remember?      CRESSIDA。 

Remember? Yes。  DIOMEDES。   Nay;  but   do;   then; And   let   your   mind   be 

coupled     with   your   words。    TROILUS。      What    shall   she   remember? 

ULYSSES。 List! CRESSIDA。 Sweet honey Greek; tempt me no more to 

folly。   THERSITES。   Roguery!   DIOMEDES。   Nay;   then…   CRESSIDA。   I'll 

tell you what… DIOMEDES。 Fo; fo! come; tell a pin; you are a forsworn… 

CRESSIDA。 In faith; I cannot。 What would you have me do? THERSITES。 

A  juggling   trick;   to   be   secretly  open。   DIOMEDES。 What   did   you   swear 

you would bestow on me? CRESSIDA。 I prithee; do not hold me to mine 

oath; Bid me do anything but that; sweet Greek。 DIOMEDES。 Good night。 

TROILUS。   Hold;   patience!   ULYSSES。   How   now;   Troyan!   CRESSIDA。 

Diomed!   DIOMEDES。   No;   no;   good   night;   I'll   be   your   fool   no   more。 

TROILUS。       Thy   better  must。  CRESSIDA。       Hark!   a  word   in  your  ear。 

TROILUS。 O plague and madness! ULYSSES。 You are moved; Prince; let 

us depart; I pray; Lest your displeasure should enlarge itself To wrathful 

terms。 This place is dangerous; The time right deadly; I beseech you; go。 

TROILUS。 Behold; I pray you。 ULYSSES。 Nay; good my lord; go off; You 

flow    to  great  distraction;  come;   my   lord。  TROILUS。      I  prithee  stay。

                      THE HISTORY OF TROILUS AND CRESSIDA 



ULYSSES。 You have not patience; come。 TROILUS。 I pray you; stay; by 

hell and all hell's torments; I will not speak a word。 DIOMEDES。 And so; 

good night。 CRESSIDA。 Nay; but you part in anger。 TROILUS。 Doth that 

grieve thee? O withered truth! ULYSSES。 How now; my lord? TROILUS。 

By     Jove;    I  will   be   patient。    CRESSIDA。         Guardian!      Why;     Greek! 

DIOMEDES。   Fo;   fo!   adieu!   you   palter。   CRESSIDA。   In   faith;   I   do   not。 

Come   hither   once   again。   ULYSSES。   You   shake;   my   lord;   at   something; 

will   you    go?   You   will   break   out。   TROILUS。       She   strokes    his  cheek。 

ULYSSES。 Come; come。 TROILUS。 Nay; stay; by Jove; I will not speak a 

word: There is between my will and all offences A guard of patience。 Stay 

a little while。 THERSITES。 How the devil luxury; with his fat rump and 

potato   finger;   tickles   these   together!   Fry;   lechery;   fry!   DIOMEDES。   But 

will   you;   then?    CRESSIDA。        In  faith;  I  will;  lo;  never   trust  me    else。 

DIOMEDES。   Give   me   some   token   for   the   surety   of   it。   CRESSIDA。   I'll 

fetch you one。 Exit ULYSSES。 You have sworn patience。 TROILUS。 Fear 

me not; my lord; I will not be myself; nor have cognition Of what I feel。 I 

am all patience。 

       Re…enter CRESSIDA 

       THERSITES。   Now   the   pledge;   now;   now;   now!   CRESSIDA。   Here; 

Diomed;      keep    this  sleeve。   TROILUS。        O   beauty!   where     is  thy  faith? 

ULYSSES。         My    lord!  TROILUS。        I  will  be   patient;   outwardly     I  will。 

CRESSIDA。   You   look   upon   that   sleeve;   behold   it   well。   He   lov'd   me…O 

false wench!…Give't me again。 DIOMEDES。 Whose was't? CRESSIDA。 It 

is no matter; now I ha't again。 I will not meet with you to…morrow night。 I 

prithee; Diomed; visit me no more。 THERSITES。 Now she sharpens。 Well 

said;   whetstone。   DIOMEDES。   I   shall   have   it。   CRESSIDA。   What;   this? 

DIOMEDES。 Ay; that。 CRESSIDA。 O all you gods! O pretty; pretty pledge! 

Thy master now lies thinking on his bed Of thee and me; and sighs; and 

takes my glove; And gives memorial dainty kisses to it; As I kiss thee。 Nay; 

do   not   snatch   it   from   me;   He   that   takes   that   doth   take   my  heart   withal。 

DIOMEDES。   I   had   your   heart   before;   this   follows   it。   TROILUS。   I   did 

swear   patience。   CRESSIDA。   You   shall   not   have   it;   Diomed;   faith;   you 

shall   not;   I'll   give   you   something   else。   DIOMEDES。   I   will   have   this。 

Whose was it? CRESSIDA。 It is no matter。 DIOMEDES。 Come; tell me 



                                             73

                      THE HISTORY OF TROILUS AND CRESSIDA 



whose it was。 CRESSIDA。 'Twas one's that lov'd me better than you will。 

But; now you have   it; take it。 DIOMEDES。 Whose was it?   CRESSIDA。 

By  all   Diana's   waiting   women   yond; And   by   herself;   I   will   not   tell   you 

whose。 DIOMEDES。 To…morrow will I wear it on my helm; And grieve his 

spirit that dares not challenge it。 TROILUS。 Wert thou the devil and wor'st 

it on thy horn; It should be challeng'd。 CRESSIDA。 Well; well; 'tis done; 

'tis   past;   and   yet   it   is   not;   I   will   not   keep   my   word。   DIOMEDES。 Why; 

then   farewell;   Thou   never   shalt   mock   Diomed   again。   CRESSIDA。   You 

shall    not   go。  One     cannot    speak   a   word    But   it  straight   starts   you。 

DIOMEDES。 I do not like this fooling。 THERSITES。 Nor I; by Pluto; but 

that that likes not you Pleases me best。 DIOMEDES。 What; shall I come? 

The   hour…   CRESSIDA。 Ay;   come…O   Jove!   Do   come。   I   shall   be   plagu'd。 

DIOMEDES。 Farewell till then。 CRESSIDA。 Good night。 I prithee come。 

Exit DIOMEDES Troilus; farewell! One eye yet looks on thee; But with 

my heart the other eye doth see。 Ah; poor our sex! this fault in us I find; 

The error of our eye directs our mind。 What error leads must err; O; then 

conclude; Minds sway'd by eyes are full of turpitude。 Exit THERSITES。 A 

proof of strength she could not publish more; Unless she said 'My mind is 

now     turn'd   whore。'   ULYSSES。       All's   done;   my    lord。  TROILUS。       It  is。 

ULYSSES。 Why stay we; then? TROILUS。 To make a recordation to my 

soul Of every syllable that here was spoke。 But if I tell how these two did 

coact; Shall I not lie in publishing a truth? Sith yet there is a credence in 

my heart; An esperance so obstinately strong; That doth invert th' attest of 

eyes and ears; As if those organs had deceptious functions Created only to 

calumniate。      Was    Cressid    here?   ULYSSES。        I  cannot    conjure;   Troyan。 

TROILUS。 She was not; sure。 ULYSSES。 Most sure she was。 TROILUS。 

Why;   my   negation   hath   no   taste   of   madness。   ULYSSES。   Nor   mine;   my 

lord。   Cressid   was   here   but   now。   TROILUS。   Let   it   not   be   believ'd   for 

womanhood。 Think; we had mothers; do not give advantage To stubborn 

critics; apt; without a theme; For depravation; to square the general sex By 

Cressid's   rule。   Rather   think   this   not   Cressid。   ULYSSES。   What   hath   she 

done; Prince; that can soil our mothers? TROILUS。 Nothing at all; unless 

that   this   were   she。   THERSITES。   Will   'a   swagger   himself   out   on's   own 

eyes? TROILUS。 This she? No; this is Diomed's Cressida。 If beaut
