Teiresias
Must I say more to aggravate thy rage?
Oedipus
Say all thou wilt; it will be but waste of breath.
Teiresias
I say thou livest with thy nearest kin
In infamy, unwitting in thy shame.
Oedipus
Think’st thou for aye unscathed to wag thy tongue?
Teiresias
Yea, if the might of truth can aught prevail.
Oedipus
With other men, but not with thee, for thou
In ear, wit, eye, in everything art blind.
Teiresias
Poor fool to utter gibes at me which all
Here present will cast back on thee ere long.
Oedipus
Offspring of endless Night, thou hast no power
O’er me or any man who sees the sun.
Teiresias
No, for thy weird is not to fall by me.
I leave to Apollo what concerns the god.
Oedipus
Is this a plot of Creon, or thine own?
