Ihr Führer von Ajas' Schiffe, gezeugt
Aus Erechtheus' Stamm, den die Erde gebar! 1
Wohl jammern wir laut, wir, liebend und treu

Um Telamons Haus in der Ferne besorgt;
Denn Ajas, der Held, groß, riesiger Kraft,
Liegt niedergebeugt
Von dem Sturm wildwühlenden Wahnsinns.

Menelaus
So have I seen a bold imperious man
With froward tongue, before the storm began,
Urging the tardy mariner to sail,
But when the tempest rose no more was heard
The coward's voice, but wrapt beneath his cloak
Silent he laid, and suffered every foot
1160
To trample on him. Thus it is with thee,
1160
And thy foul tongue : forth from a little cloud
1160
Soon as the storm shall burst, it will o'erwhelm thee,
1160
And stop thy clamours.
1160
