Ein treuer Schuz, auf deinem Späherpfade nach.

Tecmessa
233
How shall 1 declare
Sadder than death th' unutterable woe !
This night, with madness seized, hath Ajax done
A dreadful deed ; within thou mayst behold
230
The tent 's o'erspread with bloody carcases
230
Of cattle slain, the victims of his rage.

Tecmessa
TECMESSA, CHORUS. 201
Ye faithful train, that o'er the billows steer
The bark of Ajax, from Erectheus sprung
A generous race, with sorrow pierced we groan,
Who in a foreign land with zeal attend
The house of Telamon: for now the great,
205
The strong, the daring Ajax sinks beneath
The turbid storm of a distemper'd mind.
