Oedipus: What is his country? what the suitor's prayer?

Theseus: I know but one thing; he implores, I am told,
A word with thee--he will not trouble thee.

Oedipus: What seeks he? If a suppliant, something grave.

Theseus: He only waits, they say, to speak with thee,
And then unharmed to go upon his way.

Oedipus: I marvel who is this petitioner.

Theseus: Think if there be not any of thy kin
At Argos who might claim this boon of thee.

Oedipus: Dear friend, forbear, I pray.
