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

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
