Oedipus: But for thy prompting never had the seer
Ascribed to me the death of Laius.

Creon: If so he thou knowest best; but I
Would put thee to the question in my turn.

Oedipus: Question and prove me murderer if thou canst.

Creon: Then let me ask thee, didst thou wed my sister?

Oedipus: A fact so plain I cannot well deny.

Creon: And as thy consort queen she shares the throne?

Oedipus: I grant her freely all her heart desires.
