What do the following lines reveal mainly about the situation in thebes?
oedipus: teiresias, seer who comprehendest all,
lore of the wise and hidden mysteries,
high things of heaven and low things of the earth
thou knowest, though thy blinded eyes see naught,
what plague infects our city; and we turn
to thee, o seer, our one defense and shield.
the purport of the answer that the god
returned to us who sought his oracle,
the messengers have doubtless told theeâhow
one course alone could rid us of the pest,
to find the murderers of laius,
and slay them or expel them from the land.
therefore begrudging neither augury
nor other divination that is thine,
o save thyself, thy country, and thy king,
save all from this defilement of blood shed.
on thee we rest. this is manâs highest end,
to othersâ service all his powers to lend.
teiresias: alas, alas, what misery to be wise
when wisdom profits nothing! this old lore
i had forgotten; else i were not here.
oedipus: what ails thee? why this melancholy mood?
teiresias: let me go home; prevent me not; âtwere best
that thou shouldst bear thy burden and i mine.

Match each excerpt to the correct stanza structure. it was many and many a year ago, in a kingdom by the sea, that a maiden there lived whom you may know by the name of annabel lee; and this maiden she lived with no other thought than to love and be loved by me. (from "annabel lee" by edgar allan poe) o thou, new-year, delaying long, delayest the sorrow in my blood, that longs to burst a frozen bud and flood a fresher throat with song. (from "in memoriam" by alfred lord tennyson) natureâs first green is gold, her hardest hue to hold. her early leafâs a flower but only so an hour. then leaf subsides to leaf. so eden sank to grief,; so dawn goes down to day. nothing gold can stay. (from "nothing gold can stay" by robert frost) at sestos hero dwelt; hero the fair, whom young apollo courted for her hair, and offered as a dower his burning throne, where she should sit for men to gaze upon. the outside of her garments were of lawn, the lining purple silk, with gilt stars drawn; (from "hero and leander" by christopher marlowe) quatrain couplet octave sestet
