Gelegen deiner Bitte kommt schon Kreon hier,
Zu Rath und That gewärtig; denn er bleibt allein
Als Schuz des Landes übrig noch an deiner Statt.

1369-1415. mvp-comment-762-1 In this wonderful speech the passion of Oedipus is heard rising in varied tones from 1369 to 1390 (the steps are 1369-1374, 1375,6, 1377-1383, 1384-1390); culminating in the prolonged outburst 1391-1408, where the four stages of horror in his life are recounted, and gradually subsiding into a gentler pathos in 1409-1413, 1414-1415.
