Troilus and Cressida
[II, 3]

Ajax

1426

If I go to him, with my armed fist I'll pash him o'er the face.

Ulysses

Why, 'tis this naming of him does him harm.
Here is a man—but 'tis before his face;
I will be silent.

Troilus and Cressida

Achilles

1977

This is not strange, Ulysses.
The beauty that is borne here in the face
The bearer knows not, but commends itself
To others' eyes; nor doth the eye itself,
That most pure spirit of sense, behold itself,
Not going from itself; but eye to eye opposed
Salutes each other with each other's form;
For speculation turns not to itself,
Till it hath travell'd and is mirror'd there
Where it may see itself. This is not strange at all.

Troilus and Cressida
[IV, 1]

Aeneas

2219

And thou shalt hunt a lion, that will fly
With his face backward. In humane gentleness,
Welcome to Troy! now, by Anchises' life,
Welcome, indeed! By Venus' hand I swear,
No man alive can love in such a sort
The thing he means to kill more excellently.

Where is this Hector?
Come, come, thou boy-queller, show thy face;
Know what it is to meet Achilles angry:
Hector? where's Hector? I will none but Hector.

Troilus

O traitor Diomed! turn thy false face, thou traitor,
And pay thy life thou owest me for my horse!
