Forthwith he broke forth into bitter wailing��
Such as I ne'er had heard from him before
For always had he held that such laments
Befitted cowards only�察�and low´souled men��
But uttering no shrill cries�察�he would express
His grief in low groans�察�as of a moaning bull。
But now prostrate beneath so great a woe��
Not tasting food nor drink�察�he sits among
The sword´slain beasts�察�motionless where he sank。
And plainly he meditates some baleful deed��
For so portend his words and lamentations。
But�察�O friends� �'twas for this cause I came forth´
Enter and help�察�if help at all you can��
For by friends' words men so bestead are won。

Child of Teleutas�察�fearful are thy tidings��
That our prince has been maddened by his griefs。

Alas� �Woe�察�woe��
TECMESSA
Soon�察�I fear�察�worse will follow。 Heard you not��
'Twas Ajax。 Oh�察�how dreadful was that cry。
AJAX
Alas� �Woe�察�woe��
LEADER
He seems either still frenzied�察�or else grieving
For his past frenzies�察�now he sees their work。
AJAX
Alas� �My son�察�my son��
TECMESSA
Woe's me� �Eurysaces�察�'tis for thee he calls。
What can he purpose�拭�Where art thou�拭�Ah�察�woe��
AJAX
Teucer�察�come� �Where is Teucer�拭�Will he never
Come back from cattle´raiding�拭�while I perish��
LEADER
He seems in his right mind。 But open the doors。
Perhaps even the sight of me may sober him。
��She opens the doors of the tent。 AJAX is
revealed sitting among the slain beasts。��
TECMESSA
See�察�I have opened。 You may now behold
What he has done�察�and in what plight he lies。
AJAX ��chanting��
Alas��
My shipmates and friends�察�you that alone to me
Loyal and true remain�察�of all friends alone��
Behold how great a billow lately rising from the storm of blood
Surging around engulphs me��
LEADER
Ah me�察�too true�察�it seems�察�was thy report。
This sight reveals the work of no sane mind。
AJAX ��chanting��
Alas��
My mates�察�skilled and tried in brave seamanship��
Ye who embarking drove the wave´cleaving oar��
In you�察�in you alone I see a help and refuge from despair。
Smite me�察�and spill my blood too。
LEADER
Keep silence from dread words�察�nor curing ill
By ill�察�so swell the misery of this curse。
AJAX ��chanting��
Behold now the bold�察�the man stout of heart��
Who ne'er shrank in fight against foes´behold
How I have spent my rage on beasts that feared no harm��
Ah me�察�the mockery� �To what shame am I brought low
TECMESSA
Ajax�察�my master�察�I entreat thee�察�speak not so。
AJAX ��chanting��
Away hence�察�I command thee� �Take thyself elsewhere。
Aiai� �Aiai��
LEADER
Oh�察�by the Gods�察�we pray thee�察�yield to wisdom's voice。
AJAX ��chanting��
Oh�察�wretch that I was to allow
Those cursed foes to slip from my hands�察�and assaulting
Horned kine and goodly flocks�察�madly to spill
Their life in streams of dark blood��
LEADER
Why still be afflicted�察�now the deed is done past cure��
Never can these things be as though they had not been。
AJAX ��chanting��
Thou all´spying knave�察�of all deeds of shame
The prompt�察�easy tool�察�Odysseus the wise��
Villain�察�of all the camp the most foul and vile��
Huge laughter doubtless shakes thee now for sheer delight。
LEADER
As God appoints�察�so every man laughs or laments。
AJAX ��chanting��
Would I might meet him�察�crushed and broken though I be。
Alas� �Woe�察�woe��
LEADER
Speak no proud words。 Seest thou not to what woe thou art sunk��
AJAX ��chanting��
O Zeus�察�of my fathers the sire��
Might I but kill that hateful and crafty dissembler��
Yea�察�and those two brother kings�察�partners in pride��
Then last myself too perish��
TECMESSA
If thus thou prayest�察�pray therewith for me�察�that
Die with thee。 Why�察�when thou art dead�察�should I live on��
AJAX ��chanting��
Alas��
Shadow that art my light��
Erebus�察�oh to me verily bright as day��
Receive�察�receive me your habitant。
Receive me now no more worthy to seek help of the gods��
Nor any more from fellow mortal men to claim kindness��
No�察�but she the strong
Zeus´born deity
Miserably tortures me。
Whither should I then flee��
Whither seek for rest��
Since my former glory is gone�察�my friends��
With yonder victims�察�yonder spoils by frenzy won��
Since all the host with swords uplifted
Sternly would slay me��
TECMESSA
Ah�察�woe is me� �from such a noble warrior
To hear such words as once he ne'er had deigned to speak��
AJAX ��chanting��
Alas��
Billowy paths of foam��
Eddying caves�察�and ye coppices by the shore��
A weary�察�weary time tarrying here
Beneath the walls of Troy me have you kept�察�but from this hour
Alive you shall not keep me。 Truth I speak�此�let none doubt it。
O Scamander's wave��
Stream whose neighbouring flow
Oft have the Argives blest��
Never�察�nevermore
Me shall you behold��
Me ��a proud word will I utter now��
Whose peer in battle Troy has never seen yet come
From Hellas' land�此�but now dishonoured
Thus am I prostrate。
LEADER
In truth I know not how to restrain thy speech�察�nor yet
To suffer it�察�so grievous is thy couch of woe。
AJAX
Aiai� �Who ever would have thought my name
Would harmonise so aptly with my woes��
For now well may I wail that sound out twice��
Yea thrice�察�such woeful destinies are mine��
Whose father from this land of Ida won
Fame's noblest guerdon over the whole host��
And crowned with praises only sailed back home��
But I�察�his son�察�who to the self´same Troy
Came after him�察�in might no less than he��
Nor rendering meaner service by my deeds��
Dishonoured by the Argives perish thus。
Yet this methinks I know for truth�察�were now
Achilles living and called on to adjudge
As the award of valour his own arms��
No man's hand would have grasped them before mine。
But now the Atreidae to a scheming knave
Have dealt them�察�thrusting by my valiant deeds。
And if these eyes�察�these wits had not in frenzy
Swerved from my purpose�察�never would they thus
Pervert judgment against another man。
But the irresistible fierce´eyed goddess�察�even
As I was arming my right hand to slay them��
Foiled me�察�smiting me with a maddening plague��
So that I stained my hand butchering these cattle。
Thus my foes mock me�察�escaped beyond my reach��
Through no goodwill of mine�此�but if a god
Thwart vengeance�察�even the base may escape the nobler。
And what should I now do�察�who manifestly
To Heaven am hateful�察�whom the Greeks abhor��
Whom every Trojan hates�察�and this whole land��
Shall I desert the beached ships�察�and abandoning
The Atreidae�察�sail home o'er the Aegean sea��
With what face shall I appear before my father
Telamon�拭�How will he find heart to look
On me�察�stripped of my championship in war��
That mighty crown of fame that once was his��
No�察�that I dare not。 Shall I then assault
Troy's fortress�察�and alone against them all
Achieve some glorious exploit and then die��
No�察�I might gratify the Atreidae thus。
That must not be。 Some scheme let me devise
Which may prove to my aged sire that I��
His son�察�at least by nature am no coward。
For 'tis base for a man to crave long life
Who endures never´varying misery。
What joy can be in day that follows day��
Bringing us close then snatching us from death��
As of no worth would I esteem that man
Who warms himself with unsubstantial hopes。
Nobly to live�察�or else nobly to die
Befits proud birth。 There is no more to say。
LEADER
The word thou hast uttered�察�Ajax�察�none shall call
Bastard�察�but the true offspring of thy soul。
Yet pause。 Let those who love thee overrule
Thy resolution。 Put such thoughts aside。
TECMESSA
O my lord Ajax�察�of all human ills
Greatest is fortune's wayward tyranny。
Of a free father was I born the child��
One rich and great as any Phrygian else。
Now am I a slave�察�for so the gods�察�or rather
Thy warrior's hand�察�would have it。 Therefore since
I am thy bedfellow�察�I wish thee well��
And I entreat thee by domestic Zeus��
And by the embraces that have made me thine��
Doom me not to the cruel taunts of those
Who hate thee�察�left a bond´slave in strange hands。
For shouldst thou perish and forsake me in death��
That very day assuredly I to
Shall be seized by the Argives�察�with thy son
To endure henceforth the portion of a slave。
Then one of my new masters with barbed words
Shall
