"Nobody can be called happy until the day when he carries his happiness down to the grave in peace" is the last line of which tragedy? I thought it was Oedipus, but am now not so sure

[Dustybun]

Sons and daughters of Thebes, behold, this was Oedipus. Greatest of men; he held the key to the deepest mysteries. Was envied by all his fellow men for his great prosperity; Behold what a full tide of misfortune swept over his head. Then learn that mortal man must always look to his ending, And none can be called happy until that day when he carries his happiness down to the grave in peace.

Be sure aberclive!
