To tender objects; but he, in heat of action,
Is more vindicative than jealous love.

HECTOR IN BATTLE.

I have, thou gallant Trojan, seen thee oft, Labouring for destiny, make cruel way,

[thee,

Through ranks of Greekish youth: and I have seen
As hot as Perseus, spur thy Phrygian steed,
Despising many forfeits and subduements,

When thou hast hung thy advanced sword i' the air,
Not letting it decline on the declin'd;*
That I have said to some my standers-by,

Lo, Jupiter is yonder, dealing life!

And I have seen thee pause, and take thy breath, When that a ring of Greeks have hemm'd thee in, Like an Olympian wrestling.

ACHILLES SURVEYING HECTOR.

Tell me, you heavens, in which part of his body Shall I destroy him? whether there, there, or there' That I may give the local wound a name;

And make distinct the very breach whereout
Hector's great spirit flew: Answer me,

ACT V.

RASH VOWS.

heavens!

The gods are deaf to hot and peevisht vows, They are polluted offerings, more abhorr'd Than spotted livers in the sacrifice.

HONOUR MORE DEAR THAN LIFE.

Mine honour keeps the weather of my fate: Life every man holds dear; but the dear man Holds honour far more precious-dear‡ than life.

PITY TO BE DISCARDED IN WAR.

For the love of all the gods,

Let's leave the hermit pity with our mother;
And when we have our armours buckled on,
The venom'd vengeance ride upon our swords.
† Foolish.
