  • When was my lord so much ungently temper'd,
    To stop his ears against admonishment?
    Unarm, unarm, and do not fight to-day.
  • Thersites. Would I could meet that rogue Diomed! I would
    croak like a raven; I would bode, I would bode.
    Patroclus will give me any thing for the
    intelligence of this whore: the parrot will not
    do more for an almond than he for a commodious drab.
    Lechery, lechery; still, wars and lechery; nothing
    else holds fashion: a burning devil take them!

    Andromache. When was my lord so much ungently temper'd,
    To stop his ears against admonishment?
    Unarm, unarm, and do not fight to-day.

2 V / 3
  • My dreams will, sure, prove ominous to the day.
  • My dreams will, sure, prove ominous to the day.
  • Hector. You train me to offend you; get you in:
    By all the everlasting gods, I'll go!

    Andromache. My dreams will, sure, prove ominous to the day.

  • Here, sister; arm'd, and bloody in intent.
    Consort with me in loud and dear...
  • Here, sister; arm'd, and bloody in intent.
    Consort with me in loud and dear petition,
    Pursue we him on knees; for I have dream'd
    Of bloody turbulence, and this whole night
    Hath nothing been but shapes and forms of slaughter.
  • Cassandra. Where is my brother Hector?

    Andromache. Here, sister; arm'd, and bloody in intent.
    Consort with me in loud and dear petition,
    Pursue we him on knees; for I have dream'd
    Of bloody turbulence, and this whole night
    Hath nothing been but shapes and forms of slaughter.

4 V / 3
  • O, be persuaded! do not count it holy
    To hurt by being just: it is as lawful...
  • O, be persuaded! do not count it holy
    To hurt by being just: it is as lawful,
    For we would give much, to use violent thefts,
    And rob in the behalf of charity.
  • Cassandra. The gods are deaf to hot and peevish vows:
    They are polluted offerings, more abhorr'd
    Than spotted livers in the sacrifice.

    Andromache. O, be persuaded! do not count it holy
    To hurt by being just: it is as lawful,
    For we would give much, to use violent thefts,
    And rob in the behalf of charity.

5 V / 3
  • Cassandra, call my father to persuade.
  • Cassandra, call my father to persuade.
  • Hector. Hold you still, I say;
    Mine honour keeps the weather of my fate:
    Lie every man holds dear; but the brave man
    Holds honour far more precious-dear than life.
    [Enter TROILUS]
    How now, young man! mean'st thou to fight to-day?

    Andromache. Cassandra, call my father to persuade.

6 V / 3
  • Do not, dear father.
  • Do not, dear father.
  • Cassandra. O Priam, yield not to him!

    Andromache. Do not, dear father.
