Jocasta: Yet humor me, I pray thee; do not this.

Oedipus: I cannot; I must probe this matter home.

Jocasta: 'Tis for thy sake I advise thee for the best.

Oedipus: I grow impatient of this best advice.

Jocasta: Ah mayst thou ne'er discover who thou art!

Oedipus: Go, fetch me here the herd, and leave yon woman
To glory in her pride of ancestry.

Jocasta: O woe is thee, poor wretch! With that last word
I leave thee, henceforth silent evermore.
[Exit Jocasta]
