Robert Sean Leonard as A.E. Housman and David Harbour as Moses Jackson in The Invention of Love, a play by Tom Stoppard

The clip I found ends there, which is a pity, because what comes right after goes like this:

“Housman: … They were kings. They met on the field of battle to fight to the death, but when they saw each other, each was struck in admiration for his adversary, so they became comrades instead and had many adventures together. Theseus was never so happy as when he was with his friend. They weren’t sweet on each other. They loved each other, as men loved each other in the heroic age, in virtue, paired together in legend and poetry as the pattern of comradeship, the chivalric ideal of virtue in the ancient world. Virtue! What happened to it? It had a good run - centuries! - it was still virtue in Socrates to admire a beautiful youth, virtue to be beautiful and admired, it was still there, grubbier and a shadow of itself but still there, for my Roman poets who competed for women and boys as fancy took them; virtue in Horace to shed tears of love over Ligurinus on the athletic field. Well, not any more, eh, Mo? Virtue is what women have to lose, the rest is vice. Pollard thinks I’m sweet on you, too, though he hardly knows he thinks it. Will you mind if I go to live somewhere but close by?”
