TIRESIAS.
Ha! Then I call upon thee to be true
To thy own proclamation, and henceforth
Abstain from intercourse with these or me,
As he that brings on us the curse of blood.
OEDIPUS.
Hast thou the impudence such calumny
To vent, and dream'st thou of impunity?
TIRESIAS.
I fear thee not; truth's power is on my side.
OEDIPUS.
Whence did it come to thee? not from thy art.
TIRESIAS.
From thee that made me speak against my will.
