Oedipus the King

• Here I am myself - you all know me, the world knows my fame: I am Oedipus
• You cannot equal the gods … But we do rate you first of men
• What will come will come. Even if I shroud it all in silence
• I say you are the murderer you hunt
• You with your precious eyes, you’re blind to the corruption of your life
• You, plotting to kill me, kill the king-
• Have you no sense? Poor misguided men, such shouting - why this public outburst?
• Why this rage? You’re so unbending
• I have a terrible fear the blind seer can see
• What should a man fear? It’s all chance, chance rules our lives
• Stop - in the name of god, if you love your own life, call off this search!
• I stand revealed at last - cursed in my birth, cursed in marriage
• • O Oedipus name for the ages
