Scene VIIIAnother part of the plainsEnter HectorHectorMost putrefied core, so fair without, Thy goodly armour thus hath cost thy life. Now is my day’s work done; I’ll take good breath: Rest, sword; thou hast thy fill of blood and death.Puts off his helmet and hangs his shield behind himEnter Achilles and MyrmidonsAchillesLook, Hector, how the sun begins to set; How ugly night comes breathing at his heels: Even with the vail and darking of the sun, To close the day up, Hector’s life is done.HectorI am unarm’d; forego this vantage, Greek.AchillesStrike, fellows, strike; this is the man I seek.Hector fallsSo, Ilion, fall thou next! now, Troy, sink down! Here lies thy heart, thy sinews, and thy bone. On, Myrmidons, and cry you all amain, ‘Achilles hath the mighty Hector slain.‘A retreat soundedHark! a retire upon our Grecian part.MyrmidonsThe Trojan trumpets sound the like, my lord.AchillesThe dragon wing of night o’erspreads the earth, And, stickler-like, the armies separates. My half-supp’d sword, that frankly would have fed, Pleased with this dainty bait, thus goes to bed.Sheathes his swordCome, tie his body to my horse’s tail; Along the field I will the Trojan trail.Exeunt
