Why vex thy heart with what is over and done?
Do what we may, this ne’er will alter now.
Child of Laërtes old,
Thou that dost still behold
And still contrive all shapes of monstrous ill,
Winding in foulest ways
Through the army’s sinful maze,—
Now even for pleasure thou may’st laugh thy fill.
Ajax. Sophocles. Lewis Campbell (Translator). London, New York and Toronto. 1906.
