Oedipus: When I am dead and thou hast buried me.

Theseus: Thou cravest life's last service; all before--
Is it forgotten or of no account?

Oedipus: Yea, the last boon is warrant for the rest.

Theseus: The grace thou cravest then is small indeed.

Oedipus: Nay, weigh it well; the issue is not slight.

Theseus: Thou meanest that betwixt thy sons and me?

Oedipus: Prince, they would fain convey me back to Thebes.

Theseus: If there be no compulsion, then methinks
To rest in banishment befits not thee.
