Part 3

Cre. Good; and what of him?

Man. They ſay he is a very man per ſe and stands alone.

Cre. So do all men, vnleſſe they are drunke, ſicke, or haue no legges.

Man. This man Lady, hath rob’d many beaſts of their particular additions, he is as valiant as the Lyon, churliſh as the Beare, ſlow as the Elephant: a man into whom nature hath so crowded humors, that his valour is cruſht into folly, his folly ſauced with diſcretion: there is no man hath a vertue, that he hath not a glimpſe of, nor any man an attaint, but he carries ſome ſtaine of it. He is melancholy without cauſe, and merry againſt the haire, hee hath the ioynts of euery thing, but euery thing ſo out of ioynt, that hee is a gowtie Briareus, many hands and no vſe; or purblinded Argus, all eyes and no ſight.

Cre. But how ſhould this man that makes me ſmile, make Hector angry?

Man. They ſay he yeſterday cop’d Hector in the battle and ſtroke him downe, the diſdaind & ſhame whereof, hath euer since kept Hector fasting and waking.

Enter Pandarus.

Cre. Who comes here?

Man. Madam your Vncle Pandarus.

Cre. Hectors a gallant man.

Man. As may be in the world Lady.

Pan. What’s that? what’s that?

Cre. Good morrow Vncle Pandarus.

Pan. Good morrow Cozen Creſſid: what do you talke of? good morrow Alexander. how do you Cozen? when were you at Illium?

Cre. This morning Vncle.

Pan. What were you talking of when I came? Was Hector arm’d and gon ere yea came to Illium? Hellen was not vp? was ſhe?

Cre. Hector was gone but Hellen was not up?

Pan. E’ene ſo; Hector was ſtirring early.

Cre. That were we talking of and of his anger.

Pan. Was he angry?

Cre. So he ſaies here.

Pan. True, he was ſo; I know the cauſe too, heele lay about him to day I can tell them that and there’s Troylus will not come farre behind him, let them take heede of Troylus; I can tell them that too.

Cre. What, is he angry too?

Pan. Who, Troylus? Troylus is the better man of the two.

Cre. Oh Iupiter; there’s no compariſon.

Pan. What not betweene Troylus and Hector? do you know a man if you ſee him?

Cre. I, if I euer ſaw him before and knew him.

Pan. Well, I ſay Troylus is Troylus.
