Oedipus
1329
Thou art a friend, yet stedfast, faithful yet;
Thy care, thy kind attention yet remains
1330
E'en to the blind. I know thee, though mine eyes
Are dark, distinctly know thee, and thy voice.

1329. mvp-comment-747-1 Supr. 96-8.

1330. mvp-comment-748-1 *κακῶς. . *ἐμοί The correction has the effect of making a lyric iambic trimeter of this and of infr. 1350, which has not been successfully emended as a dochmiac line. The repetition of the same word (κακὰ κακά, ἐμὰ ἐμά) is feeble in a speech of Oedipus, although admissible in the chorus, supr. 1217. For similar iambic lines, cp. Eur. Bacch. 992, 1012: Phoen. 647, 666.
