Ajax: Verily my approval shall she win,
If only she find heart to do my bidding.

Tecmessa: Dear Ajax, in all things will I obey.

Ajax: Then bring me here my son, for I would see him.

Tecmessa: Nay, but I sent him from me in my fears.

Ajax: During my late affliction, is that thy meaning?

Tecmessa: Lest by ill chance he should meet thee and so perish.

Ajax: Yes, that would have been worthy of my fate.

Tecmessa: That at least I was watchful to avert.

Ajax: I praise thine act and the foresight thou hast shown.

Tecmessa: Since that is so, what shall I do to serve thee?

Ajax: Let me speak to him and behold his face.

Tecmessa: He is close by in the attendants' charge.
