Ajax goes up and down the field,asking for himself How so?- He must fight singly tomorrow...

Ajax goes up and down the field,
asking for himself How so?
- He must fight singly tomorrow with Hector, and is so prophetically proud
of a heroical cudgelling that he raves in saying nothing How can that be?
- Why, he stalks up and down like a peacock He knows no me:
I says to him, 'Good morrow, Ajax', and he replies, 'Thanks, Agamemnon' Well what think you of this man
takes me for the general?
