Der Mühe schafft die Mühe Müh!
Wo, wo,
Wo betrat ich nicht den Pfad?
Und nirgendwo beut sichre Kunde mir ein Ort.
Vernimm!

Wieder hör' ich einen Schall.
Wir sind es, wir Genossen eurer Meeresfahrt.
Wie steht es!

815-865. mvp-comment-530-1 The scene is changed to a wooded place ( infr. 892) not far from the camp ( infr. 874-8), where Ajax is disclosed, somewhat retired, but so that both he and the projecting point of the sword which he has planted in the ground, are visible to the spectators.

848. mvp-comment-550-1 ἄτας.. ἐμόν] 'My troubles and my fate.' This is not a mere pleonasm. The ἅται may include his first provocation of Athena as well as his wild actions since; the word μόρον is specially applicable to his death.
