| ACT V SCENE IX | Another part of the plains. | |
| | Enter AGAMEMNON, AJAX, MENELAUS, NESTOR, DIOMEDES,and others, marching. Shouts within | |
| AGAMEMNON | Hark! hark! what shout is that? | |
| NESTOR | Peace, drums! | |
| | Within | |
| | Achilles! Achilles! Hector's slain! Achilles. | |
| DIOMEDES | The bruit is, Hector's slain, and by Achilles. | 5 |
| AJAX | If it be so, yet bragless let it be; | |
| | Great Hector was a man as good 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, | 10 |
| | Great Troy is ours, and our sharp wars are ended. | |
| | Exeunt, marching | |
