Notes

  • Author's note: Ajax, the Classicists tell us, in his madness slew cattle. The writer of the following lines felt that during the composition of them his madness must have been rather worse than that of the classical hero; aye, and more dangerous, too, in that it might possibly be the death not of cattle but of humans. He therefore proposed to go one down the scale and call himself B-jax; but even that, being too mild, has been abandoned.
