Another part of the plain
Sound retreat. Shout. Enter AGAMEMNON, AJAX, MENELAUS, NESTOR, DIOMEDES,
and the rest, marching AGAMEMNON Hark! hark! what shout is this?
NESTOR Peace, drums!
SOLDIERS [Within] Achilles! Achilles! Hector's slain. Achilles!
DIOMEDES The bruit is Hector's slain, and by Achilles.
AJAX If it be so, yet bragless let it be;
Great Hector was as good a man as he.
AGAMEMNON March patiently along. Let one be sent
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.
