Leader of the Chorus: O king Apollo, in our turn hear us.
Thou hast not only part in these ill things,
But art chief cause and doer of the same.

Apollo: How? stretch thy speech to tell this, and have done.

Leader: Thine oracle bade this man slay his mother.

Apollo: I bade him quit his sire's death,-wherefore not?

Leader: Then didst thou aid and guard red-handed crime.

Apollo: Yea, and I bade him to this temple flee.

Leader: And yet forsooth dost chide us following him!,

Apollo: Ay-not for you it is, to near this fane.
