"ŒDIP. Was there no courier, none who shared his road,
From whom, inquiring, one might learn the truth?"
"ŒDIP. What hindered you, when thus your sovereignty
Had fallen low, from searching out the truth?"
"ŒDIP. Right well thou speak’st, but man’s best strength must fail
To force the Gods to do the things they will not."
"ŒDIP. No loyal words thou speak’st, nor true to Thebes
Who reared thee, holding back this oracle."
