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]
