MESS
Enter Messenger . 1579
Athenian citizens, my briefest tale
Were to say singly, Oedipus is gone;

But to describe the scene enacted yonder
Craves no brief speech, nor was the action brief.

Wohl werth des Mitleids, Dedipus, erscheinst du selbst
Und deine Töchter! Aber da du meinem Land
Dich jezt zum Helfer selbst erbeutst mit diesem Wort:
So will ich treulich rathen, was dir frommen kann.
