Enter Agamemnon, Ajax, Menelaus, Nestor, Diomedes, and the rest, marching. Shouts within.[2418]

Agam. Hark! hark! what shout is that?[2419][2420]

Nest. Peace, drums![2419]

[Within] 'Achilles! Achilles! Hector's slain! Achilles!'[2419][2421]

Dio. The bruit is, Hector's slain, and by Achilles.[2422]

Ajax. If it be so, yet bragless let it be; 5
Great Hector was a man as good as he.[2423]

Agam. March patiently along: let one be sent[2424]
To pray Achilles see us at our tent.
If in his death the gods have us befriended,
Great Troy is ours, and our sharp wars are ended. 10

[Exeunt, marching.[2425]
