And so adieu, sweet Jude! nay, why dost thou stay?
DUMAIN For the latter end of his name.
BIRON For the ass to the Jude; give it him:--Jud-as, away!
HOLOFERNES This is not generous, not gentle, not humble.
BOYET A light for Monsieur Judas! it grows dark, he may stumble.
[HOLOFERNES retires]
PRINCESS Alas, poor Maccabaeus, how hath he been baited!
[Enter DON ADRIANO DE ARMADO, for Hector]
BIRON Hide thy head, Achilles: here comes Hector in arms.
DUMAIN Though my mocks come home by me, I will now be merry.
FERDINAND Hector was but a Troyan in respect of this.
BOYET But is this Hector?
FERDINAND I think Hector was not so clean-timbered.
LONGAVILLE His leg is too big for Hector's.
DUMAIN More calf, certain.
BOYET No; he is best endued in the small.
BIRON This cannot be Hector.
DUMAIN He's a god or a painter; for he makes faces.
DON
ADRIANO DE ARMADO The armipotent Mars, of lances the almighty,
Gave Hector a gift,--
DUMAIN A gilt nutmeg.
BIRON A lemon.
LONGAVILLE Stuck with cloves.
DUMAIN No, cloven.
DON
ADRIANO DE ARMADO Peace!--
The armipotent Mars, of lances the almighty
Gave Hector a gift, the heir of Ilion;
A man so breathed, that certain he would fight; yea
From morn till night, out of his pavilion.
