And temples in one common fall o'erwhelm;

Destroy our lares, now so foully stained,

And let our whole house perish utterly;345

Let all the city be consumed with fire,

And be my impious marriage chamber first

To feel the flames.

Antigone: This raging storm of grief

Give o'er; and let the sorrows of the state

Prevail with thee to reconcile thy sons.

Oedipus: And dost thou think that thou dost see in me350
