Chorus
This is no time for boasting : seest thou not
How very weak thou art ?
My great progenitor ! oh, grant me this !
Grant me to slay that hateful, talking slave.
With the proud princes ; then well pleased myself
Should perish last.

TEC
There, then; I open to your view the form
Of Aias, and his fortunes as they are.
Dear comrades of the deep, whose truth and love
Stand forth alone unbroken in my woe,
Behold what gory sea
Of storm-lashed agony
Doth round and round me flow!

Ajax
356
Who grasp the strong oar, and impel the bark
355
Light bounding o'er the billows, you alone
With kind regard are present to my aid;
Draw all your swords, and end this hated life.
