Creon: O the eternity of woe thy minute's tale proclaims!

Teiresias: Yes to thee, but to thy country great salvation.

Creon: I shut my ears; I never listened; to city now farewell!

Teiresias: Ha! the man is changed; he is drawing back.

Creon: Go in peace; it is not thy prophecy I need.

Teiresias: Is truth dead, because thou art curst with woe?

Creon: By thy knees and honoured locks I implore thee!

Teiresias: Why implore me? thou art craving a calamity hard to guard
against.

Creon: Keep silence; tell not the city thy news.
