JOC. For the God is wise. But in what manner didst thou obtain her bed?
POL. It was night; but I came to the portals of Adrastus.
JOC. In search of a couch to rest on, as a wandering exile?
POL. This was the case, and then indeed there came a second exile.
JOC. Who was this? how unfortunate then was he also!
POL. Tydeus, who they say sprung from Œneus his sire.
JOC. In what then did Adrastus liken you to beasts?
POL. Because we came to blows for lodging.
JOC. In this the son of Talaus understood the oracle.
POL. And gave in marriage to us two his two virgin daughters.
