Messenger
596
My friends, I bear you news of highest import
From Mysia's rocky mountains hither comes
The noble Teucer ; know, e'en now I saw him
Amid the Grecian host, who, as he came,
Surrounded, and on ev'ry side poured forth
Reproaches on him. Not a man but cried
'' Behold the brother of that frantic foe
To Greece and to her council." Such their rage
That they had well-nigh stoned liim ; swords were
drawn,
And dire had been the conflict, but that some
Among the aged chiefs by calm advice
Appeased the strife. But where is Ajax gone 1
That I may tell him : from oui- mastei-s nought
Should be concealed.
