In victoriam dolo partam.
On victory won by guile.
Aiacis tumulum lachrymis ego perluo virtus,
Heu misera albentes dilacerata comas.
Scilicet hoc restabat adhuc, ut iudice graeco[1]
Vincerer, & caussa stet potiore dolus.[2]
I, Virtue, bedew with tears the tomb of Ajax, tearing, alas, in my grief my whitening hairs. This was all it needed - that I should be worsted with a Greek as judge, and that guile should appear to have the better cause.

Victoire acquise par fraude.
Vertu suis sur ce tumbeau paincte,
Rompant mes cheveulx & visaige:
Qui faiz pour Ajax ma complainte,
Quon priva de son droit usage:
Car Ulysses par beau langaige,
Eust les armures Dachilles:
Ainsi beau parler faict dommaige,
Et a maintz droictz anichilez.
