Tecmessa: O my lord Ajax, what art thou purposing?

Ajax: Question me not. To be discreet is best.

Tecmessa: Ah me, heavy is my heart. Now by thy child,
By the gods, I entreat, forsake us not.

Ajax: Vex me no further. Know'st thou not that I
To the gods owe no duty any more?

Tecmessa: Utter no proud words.

Ajax: Speak to those who listen.

Tecmessa: Wilt thou not heed?

Ajax: Too much thou hast spoken already.

Tecmessa: Yes, through my fears, O king.

Ajax: Close the doors quickly.

Tecmessa: For the gods' love, relent.
