OEDIPUS.
Who against their will
Could take me?

CREON.
Though untaken thou shalt smart.

OEDIPUS.
What power hast thou to execute this threat?

CREON.
One of thy daughters is already seized,
The other I will carry off anon.

OEDIPUS.
Woe, woe!

CREON.
This is but prelude to thy woes.

OEDIPUS.
Hast thou my child?

CREON.
And soon shall have the other.

OEDIPUS.
Ho, friends! ye will not surely play me false?
Chase this ungodly villain from your land.

CHORUS.
Hence, stranger, hence avaunt! Thou doest wrong
In this, and wrong in all that thou hast done.
