OEDIPUS AT COLONUS
Chorus
Refuge hath been found.
Antigone
For me?
Chorus
Where thou shalt be safe from harm.
Antigone
I know it.
Chorus
Why then this alarm?
Antigone
How again to get us home
I know not.
Chorus
Why then roam?
Antigone
Troubles whelm us—
Chorus
As of yore.
Antigone
Worse than what was worst before.
Chorus
Sure ye are driven on the breakers’ surge.
Antigone
Alas! we are.
Chorus
Alas! ’tis so.
Antigone
Ah whither turn, O Zeus? No ray
Of hope to cheer the way
Whereon the fates our desperate voyage urge.
