Creon: Alas! I see an omen there, the gloomy look and clouded brow of yonder messenger coming to tell us the whole matter. (The Second Messenger enters.)

Messenger: Ah, woe is me! what language can I find to tell my tale?

Creon: Our fate is sealed; thy opening words do naught to reassure
us.

Messenger: Ah, woe is me! I do repeat; for beside the scenes of woe
already enacted I bring tidings of new horror.

Creon: What is thy tale?

Messenger: Thy sister's sons are now no more, Creon.

Creon: Alas! thou hast a heavy tale of woe for me and Thebes

Leader: O house of Oedipus, hast thou heard these tidings?
