Oedipus: And die thou shalt unless thou tell the truth.

Herdsman: But, if I tell it, I am doubly lost.

Oedipus: The knave methinks will still prevaricate.

Herdsman: Nay, I confessed I gave it long ago.

Oedipus: Whence came it? was it thine, or given to thee?

Herdsman: I had it from another, 'twas not mine.

Oedipus: From whom of these our townsmen, and what house?

Herdsman: Forbear for God's sake, master, ask no more.
