Oedipus: Here too my zeal has nothing lagged, for twice
At Creon's instance have I sent to fetch him,
And long I marvel why he is not here.

Chorus: I mind me too of rumors long ago--
Mere gossip.

Oedipus: Tell them, I would fain know all.

Chorus: 'Twas said he fell by travelers.

Oedipus: So I heard,
But none has seen the man who saw him fall.

Chorus: Well, if he knows what fear is, he will quail
And flee before the terror of thy curse.
