Of frightened cattle sound upon our ears:
It is the lowing of the altar fires,
It is the frightened muttering of the shrine!
Oedipus: What meaning have these monstrous signs? Declare;
And with no timid ears will I attend.385
For he who has the dregs of fortune drained
Fears nothing more.
Tiresias: The time will come to thee,
When these thy ills, for which thou seekest aid,
Will blessings seem.
