Chorus: Bowls thou wilt find, the carver's handiwork;
Crown thou the rims and both the handles crown--

Oedipus: With olive shoots or blocks of wool, or how?

Chorus: With wool from fleece of yearling freshly shorn.

Oedipus: What next? how must I end the ritual?

Chorus: Pour thy libation, turning to the dawn.

Oedipus: Pouring it from the urns whereof ye spake?

Chorus: Yea, in three streams; and be the last bowl drained
To the last drop.
