Troilus and Cressida by William Shakespeare

Act 5 - Scene 9

Another part of the plains.

Agamemnon : Hark! hark! what shout is that?

Nestor : Peace, drums! [p][Within] [p]Achilles! Achilles! Hector's slain!
Achilles.

Diomedes : The bruit is, Hector's slain, and by Achilles.

Ajax : If it be so, yet bragless let it be; [p]Great Hector was a man as good
as he.

Agamemnon : March patiently along: let one be sent [p]To pray Achilles see us at
our tent. [p]If in his death the gods have us befriended, [p]Great
Troy is ours, and our sharp wars are ended.
