resolution to keep Helen still, For 'tis a cause that hath no mean dependance Upon our joint and several
dignities. TROILUS
Why, there you touch'd the life of our design: Were it not glory that we more affected Than the performance
of our heaving spleens, I would not wish a drop of Trojan blood Spent more in her defence. But, worthy
Hector, She is a theme of honour and renown, A spur to valiant and magnanimous deeds, Whose present
courage may beat down our foes, And fame in time to come canonize us; For, I presume, brave Hector
would not lose So rich advantage of a promised glory As smiles upon the forehead of this action For the
wide world's revenue. HECTOR
I am yours, You valiant offspring of great Priamus. I have a roisting challenge sent amongst The dun and
factious nobles of the Greeks Will strike amazement to their drowsy spirits: I was advertised their great
general slept, Whilst emulation in the army crept: This, I presume, will wake him.
