Chorus
CŒDIPUS, CHORUS.
O misery, horrible to human sight,
Most horrible of all that e'er these eyes
Beheld! What madness, O unhappy man,
What demon seized thee, to thy wretched fate
Adding this extreme agony of woe?
Alas thy sufferings! But I cannot bear
To look on thee, (though much I wish to ask,
Of much to be inform'd, and much to see)
Such shuddering horror strikes me at thy sight.
