Oedipus: The blind man's words will be instinct with sight.

Stranger: Heed then; I fain would see thee out of harm;
For by the looks, marred though they be by fate,
I judge thee noble; tarry where thou art,
While I go seek the burghers--those at hand,
Not in the city. They will soon decide
Whether thou art to rest or go thy way.
[Exit Stranger]

Oedipus: Tell me, my daughter, has the stranger gone?

Antigone: Yes, he has gone; now we are all alone,
And thou may'st speak, dear father, without fear.
