So Oedipus, new most respected king. We plead with you to find for a secure, some answer blown from God. Or could it be enlightenment from man? For still I see the prowess of the well proved. Mind it's tested buoyancy. So Holy Sovereign, go! Raise up your city, Go now on your guard. Your old devotion celebrates. You still defender of the state. You must not let your rain go down as one. When men were resurrected. Once and once relapsed, mend the city. Make her safe. You had good omens once. You did your work. Be equal to your stature. Now, if King of men as king, you are, then it must be of a kingdom, man and not a desert. The ship is lost, the turret blind with crew and look out. Gone.
