And he falls into the watery vase!

Of the craft-killing caldron I tell thee the case!

Cho. I would not boast to be a topping critic

Of oracles: but to some sort of evil

I liken these. From oracles, what good speech

To mortals, beside, is sent?

It comes of their evils: these arts word-abounding that sing the event

Bring the fear 't is their office to teach.

Kas. Ah me, ah me—

Of me unhappy, evil-destined fortunes!
