Chorus: Insolence!

Creon: Insolence that thou must bear.

Chorus: Haste ye princes, sound the alarm!
Men of Athens, arm ye, arm!
Quickly to the rescue come
Ere the robbers get them home.
[Enter Theseus]

Theseus: Why this outcry? What is forward? wherefore was I called away
From the altar of Poseidon, lord of your Colonus? Say!
On what errand have I hurried hither without stop or stay.

Oedipus: Dear friend--those accents tell me who thou art--
Yon man but now hath done me a foul wrong.

Theseus: What is this wrong and who hath wrought it? Speak.
