    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��
