Oedipus: Whate'er I utter, have no fear of me.

Chorus: Begone!

Oedipus: O wretched me!

Chorus: Begone!

Oedipus: O daughter, what will hap anon?

Chorus: Forth from our borders speed ye both!

Oedipus: How keep you then your troth?

Chorus: Heaven's justice never smites
Him who ill with ill requites.
But if guile with guile contend,
Bane, not blessing, is the end.
Arise, begone and take thee hence straightway,
Lest on our land a heavier curse thou lay.
