Leader: Child of Teleutas, fearful are thy tidings,
That our prince has been maddened by his griefs.

Ajax: (within) Alas! Woe, woe!

Tecmessa: Soon, I fear, worse will follow. Heard you not?
'Twas Ajax. Oh, how dreadful was that cry.

Ajax: Alas! Woe, woe!

Leader: He seems either still frenzied, or else grieving
For his past frenzies, now he sees their work.

Ajax: Alas! My son, my son!

Tecmessa: Woe's me! Eurysaces, 'tis for thee he calls.
What can he purpose?-Where art thou?-Ah, woe!

Ajax: Teucer, come!-Where is Teucer? Will he never
Come back from cattle-raiding?-while I perish!
