Oedipus: Thou com'st much wished for, Prince, and sure some god
Hath bid good luck attend thee on thy way.

Theseus: What, son of Laius, hath chanced of new?

Oedipus: My life hath turned the scale. I would do all
I promised thee and thine before I die.

Theseus: What sign assures thee that thine end is near?

Oedipus: The gods themselves are heralds of my fate;
Of their appointed warnings nothing fails.

Theseus: How sayest thou they signify their will?

Oedipus: This thunder, peal on peal, this lightning hurled
Flash upon flash, from the unconquered hand.
