Ajax is discovered sitting amidst the slaughtered cattle.

Ajax
[348] Ah, good sailors, you alone of my friends [350] who alone still abide by the true bond of friendship, see how great a wave has just now crested over and broken around me, set on by a murderous storm!

Chorus
Ah, lady, too true, it seems, was your testimony! [355] The fact proves that he is not sane.
