After fierce tempest calm will ever lull
The moaning sea�察�and Sleep�察�that masters all��
Binds life awhile�察�yet loosens soon the bond。
And who am I that I should not learn wisdom��
Of all men I�察�whom proof hath taught of late
How so far only should we hate our foes
As though we soon might love them�察�and so far
Do a friend service�察�as to one most like
Some day to prove our foe�察�since oftenest men
In friendship but a faithless haven find。
Thus well am I resolved。 ��To TECMESSA�� Thou�察�woman�察�pass
Within�察�and pray the gods that all things so
May be accomplished as my heart desires。
And you�察�friends�察�heed my wishes as she doth��
And when he comes�察�bid Teucer he must guard
My rights at need�察�and withal stand your friend。
For now I go whither I needs must pass。
Do as I bid。 Soon haply you shall hear��
With me�察�for all this misery�察�'tis most well。
��AJAX departs。 TECMESSA goes into the tent。��
CHORUS ��singing��
strophe
I thrill with rapture�察�flutter on wings of ecstasy。
Io�察�Io�察�Pan�察�Pan��
O Pan�察�Pan� �from the stony ridge��
Snow´bestrewn of Cyllene's height
Appear roving across the waters��
O dance´ordering king of gods��
That thou mayst join me in flinging free
Fancy measures of Nysa and of Cnossus。
Yea for the dance I now am eager。
And over the far Icarian billows come�察�O king Apollo��
From Delos in haste�察�come thou��
Thy kindly power here in our midst revealing。
antistrophe
Ares hath lifted horror and anguish from our eyes。
Io�察�Io� �Now again��
Now�察�O Zeus�察�can the bright and blithe
Glory of happier days return
To our swift´voyaging ships�察�for now
Hath Ajax wholly forgot his grief��
And all rites due to the gods he now
Fain would meetly perform with loyal worship。
Mighty is time to dwindle all things。
Nought would I call too strange for belief�察�when Ajax thus beyond
hope
Hath learnt to repent his proud feuds��
And lay aside anger against the Atreidae。
��A MESSENGER enters。��
MESSENGER
My friends�察�these tiding I would tell you first��
Teucer is present�察�from the Mysian heights
But now returned�察�and in the central camp
By all the Greeks at once is being reviled。
As he drew near they knew him from afar��
Then gathering around him one and all
With taunts assailed him from this side and that��
Calling him kinsman of that maniac��
That plotter against the host�察�saying that nought
Should save him�察�stoned and mangled he must die。
And so they had come to such a pitch that swords
Plucked from their sheaths stood naked in men's hands。
Yet when the strife ran highest�察�it was stayed
By words from the elders and so reconciled。
But where is Ajax�拭�I must speak with him。
He whom it most concerns must be told all。
LEADER OF THE CHORUS
He is not within�察�but has just now gone forth
With a new purpose yoked to a new mood。
MESSENGER
Alas� �Alas��
Then too late on this errand was I sped
By him who sent me�察�or I have proved too slow。
LEADER
What urgent need has been neglected here��
MESSENGER
Teucer forbade that Ajax should go forth
Outside his hut�察�till he himself should come。
LEADER
Well�察�he is gone。 To wisest purpose now
His mind is turned�察�to appease heaven's wrath。
MESSENGER
These words of thine are filled with utter folly��
If there was truth in Calchas' prophecy。
LEADER
What prophecy�拭�And what know you of this thing��
MESSENGER
Thus much I know�察�for by chance I was present。
Leaving the circle of consulting chiefs
Where sat the Atreidae�察�Calchas went aside��
And with kind purpose grasping Teucer's hand
Enjoined him that by every artifice
He should restrain Ajax within his tents
This whole day�察�and not leave him to himself��
If he wished ever to behold him alive。
For on this day alone�察�such were his words��
Would the wrath of divine Athena vex him。
For the overweening and unprofitable
Fall crushed by heaven´sent calamities
��So the seer spoke���察�whene'er one born a man
Has conceived thoughts too high for man's estate��
And this man�察�when he first set forth from home��
Showed himself foolish�察�when his father spoke to him
Wisely�此 �My son�察�seek victory by the spear��
But seek it always with the help of heaven。;
Then boastfully and witlessly he answered��
;Father�察�with heaven's help a mere man of nought
Might win victory�此�but I�察�albeit without
Their aid�察�trust to achieve a victor's glory。;
Such was his proud vaunt。 Then a second time
Answering divine Athena�察�when she urged him
To turn a slaughterous hand upon his foes��
He gave voice to this dire�察�blasphemous boast��
;Goddess�察�stand thou beside the other Greeks。
Where I am stationed�察�no foe shall break through。;
By such words and such thoughts too great for man
Did he provoke Athena's pitiless wrath。
But if he lives through this one day�察�perchance��
Should heaven be willing�察�we may save him yet。
So spoke the seer�察�and Teucer from his seat
No sooner risen�察�sent me with this mandate
For you to observe。 But if we have been forestalled��
That man lives not�察�or Calchas is no prophet。
LEADER ��calling��
Woful Tecmessa�察�woman born to sorrow��
Come forth and hear this man who tells of a peril
That grazes us too close for our mind's ease。
��TECMESSA enters from the tent。��
TECMESSA
Why alas do you break my rest again
After brief respite from relentless woes��
LEADER
Give hearing to this messenger�察�who brings
Tidings that grieve me of how Ajax fares。
TECMESSA
Ah me�察�what sayest thou�察�man�拭�Are we undone��
MESSENGER
I know not of thy fortune�察�but for Ajax��
If he be gone abroad�察�my mind misgives。
TECMESSA
Yes�察�he is gone。 I am racked to know thy meaning。
MESSENGER
Teucer commands you to keep him within doors��
And not to let him leave his tent alone。
TECMESSA
And where is Teucer�察�and why speaks he thus��
MESSENGER
He has but now returned�察�and he forebodes
That this going´forth will prove fatal to Ajax。
TECMESSA
Woe's me�察�alas� �From whom has he learned this��
MESSENGER
From the seer�察�Thestor's son�察�this very day��
Which is fraught either with his death or life。
TECMESSA
Ah me�察�my friends�察�avert this threatening doom
Speed some of you to hasten Teucer hither��
Others go search the bays�察�some west�察�some east��
And track my lord's ill´omened going´forth。
Yes�察�now I know I have been deceived by him��
And from his former favour quite cast out。
Alas�察�child�察�what shall I do�拭�Sit still I must not��
But far as I have strength I too will go。
Let us start quickly´'tis no time for loitering��
If we would save one who is in haste to die。
LEADER
I am ready�察�as not words alone shall prove��
But speed of act and foot to make words good。
��The CHORUS�察�TECMESSA and MESSENGER go out。 The scene
changes to a lonely place by the sea´shore。 Bushes and under´
brush are in the background。 AJAX enters alone。��
AJAX
The slayer stands so that his edge may cleave
Most surely ��if there be leisure for such thought����
Being the gift of Hector�察�of all friends
Most unloved�察�and most hateful to my sight。
Then it is planted in Troy's hostile soil��
New´sharpened on the iron´biting whet。
And heedfully have I planted it�察�that so
With a swift death it prove to me most kind。
Thus have I made all ready。 Next be thou
The first�察�O Zeus�察�to aid me�察�as is right。
It is no mighty boon that I shall crave。
Send some announcer of the evil news
To Teucer�察�that he first may lift me up��
When I have fallen upon this reeking sword��
Lest ere he come some enemy should espy me
And cast me forth to dogs and birds a prey。
This�察�O Zeus�察�I entreat thee�察�and likewise call
On Hermes�察�guide to the underworld�察�to lay me
Asleep without a struggle�察�at one swift bound��
When I have thrust my heart through with this sword。
Next I call on those maidens ever´living
And ever watchful of all human miseries��
The dread swift´striding Erinyes�察�that they mark
How by the Atreidae I have been destroyed��
And these vile men by a vile doom utterly
May they cut off�察�even as they see me here。
Come�察�O ye swift avenging Erinyes��
