Oedipus: Vile slanderer, thou blurtest forth these taunts,
And think'st forsooth as seer to go scot free.

Teiresias: Yea, I am free, strong in the strength of truth.

Oedipus: Who was thy teacher? not methinks thy art.

Teiresias: Thou, goading me against my will to speak.

Oedipus: What speech? repeat it and resolve my doubt.

Teiresias: Didst miss my sense wouldst thou goad me on?

Oedipus: I but half caught thy meaning; say it again.

Teiresias: I say thou art the murderer of the man
Whose murderer thou pursuest.
