Teucer: (from without) Alas, woe, woe!

Leader of the Chorus: Keep silence! Is it Teucer's voice I hear

Lifting a dirge over this tragic sight? (Teucer enters.)

Teucer: O brother Ajax, to mine eyes most dear,
Can it be thou hast fared as rumour tells?

Leader: Yes, he is dead, Teucer: of that be sure.

Teucer: Alas, how then can I endure my fate!

Leader: Since thus it is...

Teucer: O wretched, wretched me!

Leader: Thou hast cause to moan.

Teucer: O swift and cruel woe!

Leader: Too cruel, Teucer!

Teucer: Woe is me! But say-
His child-where shall I find him? Tell me where.
