Give peace to citizens, to country rest,
And to their broken treaty honest faith.
To many men art thou refusing life,
If for thyself thou dost refuse to live.
Oedipus: Think'st thou that such as they have aught of love295
For father or for right, whose hearts are filled
With lust for blood and power and impious arms,
Profane and cruel sons—in brief, my own?
Toward every form of evil deed they strive,
And have no scruples where their wrath impels.
