Part 36

Enter Diomedes

Diom. What, are you up here, ho? Speak.

Cal. [Within] Who calls?

Diom. Diomed. Calchas, I think. Where’s your daughter?

Cal. [Within] She comes to you.

Enter Troylus and Vlyſſes, at a distance; after them Thersites

Vlyſ. Stand where the torch may not discover us.

Enter Creſſid

Troy. Creſſid comes forth to him.

Diom. How now, my charge!

Cre. Now, my sweet guardian! Hark, a word with you. [Whispers]

Troy. Yea, so familiar!

Vlyſ. She will sing any man at first sight.

Ther. And any man may sing her, if he can take her cliff; she’s noted.

Diom. Will you remember?

Cre. Remember? Yes.

Diom. Nay, but do, then; And let your mind be coupled with your words.

Troy. What shall she remember?

Vlyſ. List!

Cre. Sweet honey Greek, tempt me no more to folly.

Ther. Roguery!

Diom. Nay, then-

Cre. I’ll tell you what-

Diom. Fo, fo! come, tell a pin; you are a forsworn-

Cre. In faith, I cannot. What would you have me do?

Ther. A juggling trick, to be secretly open.

Diom. What did you swear you would bestow on me?

Cre. I prithee, do not hold me to mine oath; Bid me do anything but that, sweet Greek.
