Voice of shamelessness! Will you really lay hands on me?
Creon
Shut up, I say!
Oedipus
No! May the powers of this place grant me to utter this further curse! Most evil of men, when these eyes were dark, you wrenched from me the helpless one who was my eyesight and made off with her by force. Therefore to you and to your race may the Sun, the god who sees all things,
grant in time an old age such as mine!
Creon
Do you see this, people of the land?
Oedipus
They see both you and me. They know that I have suffered in deeds, and my defense is mere words.
Creon
I will not check my anger. Though I am alone
and slow with age, I will take this man by force.
Oedipus
Ah, my wretchedness!
Chorus
What arrogance you have come with, stranger, if you think you will achieve this!
Creon
I will.
