Chorus
Cursed man! What of this? Did you commit the murder— Oedipus
What now? What would you learn? Chorus
—Of your father? Oedipus
Oh! oh! a second stab—wound on wound! Chorus
[545] You killed— Oedipus
I killed—yet I have a plea— Chorus
What can you plead? Oedipus
—A plea of justice. Chorus
What? Oedipus
I will tell you: I killed in ignorance and perished utterly. Pure before the law, without knowledge of my act, I have come to this!
