Thy friend, so terribly bound by his oath to truth.
For mere suspicion's sake.
Cast not away, blamed and disgraced.
Oe. Be not deceived. As thus you ask, for me You ask destruction, or my flight from Thebes.
Ch. Never ! By him that is prince of the gods, the Sun, If that thought be in us.
Hopeless, godless, friendless, may we perish !
Not so ! Our hearts are heavy. The land we love is perishing.
And now shall a hurt yourselves have made be added to the tale?
Oe. So ! Let him go... though I be s...lain for it.
Or shamed, and violently thrust from Thebes.
It is your pleading voice, 'tis not his oath, Hath moved me. Him I shall hate where'er he be.
Cr. You yield, but still you hate ; and as you pass From passion, you are hard. 'Tis very plain.
Such men — 'tis just — reap for themselves most pain !
Oe. Go ! Get you gone, and leave me !
Cr. I will go !
You know not, pity not. These trust me still, and know !
II Ch. Lady, stay no longer ! Take your lord within. 'Tis time !
Jo. First tell me what has chanced.
