Teiresias: Hold me not.

Creon: Abide, why dost thou seek to fly?

Teiresias: 'Tis thy fortune that flies thee, not I.

Creon: Tell me what can save Thebes and her citizens.

Teiresias: Though this be now thy wish, it will soon cease to be.

Creon: Not wish to save my country? how can that be?

Teiresias: Art thou still eager to be told?

Creon: Yea; for wherein should I show greater zeal?

Teiresias: Then straightway shalt thou hear my words prophetic. But
first would fain know for certain where Menoeceus is, who led me hither.
