Cryptic 2888

[Four Clubs]

Good morning. Back again. Could you help me with the final clues, please. Quite a few unfortunately. Audible expression of sadness, in a sense, cut short (4ltrs) ??g? I think the first letter may be (a) coming from Like an old picture showing Greek character to Aegean, say (5ltrs) which I think may be alpha? 8dn Happen before red tape changed and tapered off (7ltrs)
p?e?a?? - could this be peerage? Last one 25ac Lament i.e. bawl, when upset (6ltrs) ?????l. I think this is bewail an anagram of i.e. bawl. I thought my brain may be more active after a good nights' sleep......... Many thanks. Four Clubs
