My rest and negligence befriend thee now,
But thou anon fhalt hear of me again :
Till when, go feek thy Fortune.

I would have been much more a fresher Man,
Had I expected thee; how now, my Brother?

Why then fly on, I'll hunt thee for thy Hide.

Enter Achilles, and his Myrmidons.

Achil. Look, Hector, how the Sun begins to fet;
How ugly Night comes breathing at his Heels:

To close the Day up, Hector's Life is done.

[They fall upon Hector and kill him.
Hect. I am unarm'd, forego this vantage, Greek.
Achil. Strike, Fellows, ftrike, this is the Man I feek.
So, Ilion, fall thou: Now, Troy, fink down:
Here lies thy Heart, thy Sinews and thy Bone.
On, Myrmidons, cry you all amain,
Achilles hath the mighty Hector flain.

Hark, a Retreat upon our Grecian part.

[Retreat.

Myr. The Trojan Trumpets found the like, my Lord. Achil. The dragon Wing of Night o'er fpreads the Earth, And, Stickler-like, the Armies feparates;

My half fupt Sword, that frankly would have fed,
Pleas'd with this dainty Bit, thus goes to Bed.
Come, tye his Body to my Horfe's Tail:

Along the Field, I will the Trojan trail.

[Exeunt.

Sound Retreat.

Never go home, here starve we out the Night.
Enter Troilus.

Troi. Hector is flain.
All. Hector!--the Gods forbid !

Troi. He's dead, and at the Murtherer's Horfe's Tail,
In beaftly fort dragg'd through the fhameful Field.
Frown on, you Heavens, effect your rage with speed:
Sit Gods upon your Thrones, and fmile at Troy.
I fay at once, let your brief Plagues be Mercy,
And linger not our fure Destructions on.

Ane. My Lord, you do difcomfort all the Hoft.
Troi. You understand me not, that tell me fo:
I do not speak of flight, of fear, of Death,
But dare all imminence, that Gods and Men
Addrefs their Dangers in. Hector is gone:
Who shall tell Priam fo? or Hecuba?
Let him that will a Scrietch-Owl ay be call'd,
Go in to Troy, and fay there, Hector's dead:
There is a word will Priam turn to Stone;
Make Wells, and Niobes of the Maids and Wives;
Cool Statues of the Youth; and, in a Word,
Scare Troy out of felf. But march away,
Hector is dead: There is no more to fay.

Stay yet, you vile abominable Tents,

Thus proudly pight upon our Phrygian Plains:

Let Titan rife, as early as he dare,

I'll through and through you. And thou great fiz❜d Coward
No space of Earth fhall funder our two Hates,
I'll haunt thee, like a wicked Confcience ftill,
That mouldeth Goblins fwift as Frenfies thoughts,
Strike a free march to Troy, with comfort go:
Hope of revenge fhall hide our inward Woe.

Pan. A goodly med'cine for mine aking Bones: Oh World! World! World! thus is the poor Agent defpis'd: Oh, Traitors and Bawds; how earnestly are you fet at Work, and how ill requited? why should our Endeavour be fo defir'd, and the Performance fo loath'd? What Verse for it? what inftance for it?Let me fee

Full

Full merrily the Humble Bee doth fing,
'Till he hath loft his Hony and his Sting;
But being once fubdu'd in armed Tail,
Sweet Hony and fweet Notes together fail.

Good Traders in the Flesh, fet this in your painted Cloathes;
As many as be here of Pandar's Hall,

Your Eyes half out, weep out at Pindar's Fall;
Or if you cannot weep, yet give fome groans,
Though not for me, yet for your aking Bones.
Brethren and Sifters of the hold-door Trade,
Some two Months hence, my Will fhall here be made :
It should be now, but that my fear is this,
Some galled Goofe of Winchester would hifs;
'Till then, I'll fwear, and feek about for Eafes,
And at that time bequeath you my Diseases.

[Exeunt.
