Enter AGAMEMNON, AJAX, MENELAUS, NESTOR, DIOMEDES, and Others marching. Shouts within. | |
| Agam. Hark! hark! what shout is that? | |
| Nest. Peace, drums! [Within.] Achilles! | |
| Achilles! Hector’s slain! Achilles! | 5 |
| Dio. The bruit is, Hector’s slain, and by Achilles. | |
| Ajax. If it be so, yet bragless let it be; | |
| Great Hector was a man as good as he. | |
| Agam. March patiently along. Let one be sent | |
| To pray Achilles see us at our tent. | 10 |
| If in his death the gods have us befriended, | |
| Great Troy is ours, and our sharp wars are ended. [Exeunt marching. | | | |
