From

Goethe.

Tübingen,
In the JG Cotta'schenn bookstore.
1802.

The small work (80 p.) Is a poetry by Goethe on the occasion of the opening of the theater in Bad Lauchstädt . The mythological plot of the one-act play should get the audience in the mood for the theater event. The prelude contains the sentence that comes from the 1800 Goethe sonnet "Nature and Art":

If you want big things, you have to pull yourself together.

Only in the limitation does the master show himself

And only the law can give us freedom.
