Oedipus: Kind son of Aegeus, to the gods alone
Comes never old age or death, but all else is
Confounded by all-mastering time. Earth’s strength
Decays, and the strength of the body; faith dies,
Distrust is born; and the same spirit is never
Steadfast among friends, or betwixt city and city;
For, be it soon or be it late, men find sweet
Turn to bitter, and then once more to love.
