Antigone: May not I too share thy sorrows?

Oedipus: To wander with her blinded sire were shame unto his child.

Antigone: Not so, father, but glory rather, if she be a maid discreet.

Oedipus: Lead me nigh that I may touch thy mother's corpse.

Antigone: So! embrace the aged form so dear to thee.

Oedipus: Woe is thee, thy motherhood, thy marriage most unblest!

Antigone: A piteous corpse, a prey to every ill at once!

Oedipus: Where lies the corpse of Eteocles, and of Polyneices, where?

Antigone: Both lie stretched before thee, side by side.
