[Exit. Enter AGAMEMNON]
AGAMEMNON

Renew,| renew,| the fierce | Poly|damas
,

Hath beat | down* Me|non: ba|stard Marga|relon
, 2 ,
,
Hath Do|reus pris|oner. \\
, ,
, , ,
And stands | colos|sus-wise | waving | his beam,
, ,
, ,
,
Upon | the pash|ed cor|ses of | the kings:
,

Epis|trophus | and Ce|dius, Polyxenes is slain;
????

Amphi|machus,| and Tho|as dead|ly hurt,

Patroc|lus tane | or slain,| and Pa|lamedes

Sore hurt and bruised;| the dread|ful Sag|ittary

Appals | our num|bers, haste | we Di|omed
, ,

To re|inforce|ment, or | we per|ish all.
NESTOR

Go bear | Patroc|lus' bo|dy to A|chilles,

T T T ,
,
And bid | the snail-paced A|jax^arm | for shame;
,
, ,
, ,
There is | a thous|and Hec|tors in | the field:
T T T ,
, ,
Now here he | fights on | Galathe | his horse,
,
T T . T ,
,
And there | lacks work: anon | he's there |
afoot,
, ,
, , ,
And there | they fly | or die,| like^sca|led
sculls,
,
, , , 2
,
Before | the bel|ching whale;| then is he |
yonder,
, ,
, ,
,
And there | the straw|y Greeks,| ripe for | his
edge,
T T .
T ,
, ,
Fall down before | him, like | the mow|er's
swath;
T T

,
Here, there, and eve|rywhere,| he leaves | and
takes;
, 2 ,
, , ,
Dexte|rity so | obey|ing ap|petite,
,
, , ,
,
That what | he will,| he does,| and does | so
much,
,
, ,
, ,
That proof | is called | impos|sibi|lity.

Oh, courage, courage | princes:| great A|chilles

Is || arming,| weeping,| cursing,| vowing |
vengeance;

Patroc|lus' wounds | have roused | his drow|sy
blood,

That nose|less, hand|less, hacked | and chip|ped,

Crying | on Hec|tor. A|jax hath | lost a |
friend, (hex with prev)

And foams | at mouth,| and he | is armed,| and at
it:
,

Roaring | for Troi|lus; who | hath done | today,
,
, , , ,
Mad and | fantas|tic ex|ecu|tion;
,

Enga|ging and | redee|ming of | himself,
,

With such | a care|less force,| and force|less
care,

As if | that luck | in ve|ry spite | of
cun||ning, bade | him win | all.
