Creon: Why seek to probe and find the seat of pain?

Guard: I gall thine ears--this miscreant thy mind.

Creon: What an inveterate babbler! get thee gone!

Guard: Babbler perchance, but innocent of the crime.

Creon: Twice guilty, having sold thy soul for gain.

Guard: Alas! how sad when reasoners reason wrong.

Creon: Go, quibble with thy reason. If thou fail'st
To find these malefactors, thou shalt own
The wages of ill-gotten gains is death.
[Exit Creon]
