put thy hand�此�my death will suffice。

  ISMENE

    And what life is dear to me�察�bereft of thee��

  ANTIGONE

    Ask Creon�察�all thy care is for him。

  ISMENE

    Why vex me thus�察�when it avails thee nought��

  ANTIGONE

    Indeed�察�if I mock�察�'tis with pain that I mock thee。

  ISMENE

    Tell me�察�how can I serve thee�察�even now��

  ANTIGONE

    Save thyself�此�I grudge not thy escape。

  ISMENE

    Ah�察�woe is me� �And shall I have no share in thy fate��

  ANTIGONE

    Thy choice was to live�察�mine�察�to die。

  ISMENE

    At least thy choice was not made without my protest。

  ANTIGONE

    One world approved thy wisdom�察�another�察�mine。

  ISMENE

    Howbeit�察�the offence is the same for both of us。

  ANTIGONE

    Be of good cheer�察�thou livest�察�but my life hath long been given to

death�察�that so I might serve the dead。

  CREON

    Lo�察�one of these maidens hath newly shown herself foolish�察�as

the other hath been since her life began。

  ISMENE

    Yea�察�O king�察�such reason as nature may have given abides not

with the unfortunate�察�but goes astray。

  CREON

    Thine did�察�when thou chosest vile deeds with the vile。

  ISMENE

    What life could I endure�察�without her presence��

  CREON

    Nay�察�speak not of her 'presence'�察�she lives no more。

  ISMENE

    But wilt thou slay the betrothed of thine own son��

  CREON

    Nay�察�there are other fields for him to plough。

  ISMENE

    But there can never be such love as bound him to her。

  CREON

    I like not an evil wife for my son。

  ANTIGONE

    Haemon�察�beloved� �How thy father wrongs thee��

  CREON

    Enough�察�enough of thee and of thy marriage��

  LEADER OF THE CHORUS

    Wilt thou indeed rob thy son of this maiden��

  CREON

    'Tis Death that shall stay these bridals for me。

  LEADER

    'Tis determined�察�it seems�察�that she shall die。

  CREON

    Determined�察�yes�察�for thee and for me。´��To the two attendants�� No

more delay´servants�察�take them within� �Henceforth they must be

women�察�and not range at large�察�for verily even the bold seek to fly��

when they see Death now closing on their life。

  CHORUS ��singing��



                                                            strophe 1



    Blest are they whose days have not tasted of evil。 For when a

house hath once been shaken from heaven�察�there the curse fails

nevermore�察�passing from life to life of the race�察�even as�察�when the

surge is driven over the darkness of the deep by the fierce breath

of Thracian sea´winds�察�it rolls up the black sand from the depths�察�and

there is sullen roar from wind´vexed headlands that front the blows of

the storm。



                                                        antistrophe 1



    I see that from olden time the sorrows in the house of the

Labdacidae are heaped upon the sorrows of the dead�察�and generation

is not freed by generation�察�but some god strikes them down�察�and the

race hath no deliverance。

    For now that hope of which the light had been spread above the

last root of the house of Oedipus´that hope�察�in turn�察�is brought

lowby the blood´stained dust due to the gods infernal�察�and by

folly in speech�察�and frenzy at the heart。

                                                            strophe 2



    Thy power�察�O Zeus�察�what human trespass can limit�拭�That power which

neither Sleep�察�the all´ensnaring�察�nor the untiring months of the

gods can master�察�but thou�察�a ruler to whom time brings not old age��

dwellest in the dazzling splendour of Olympus。

    And through the future�察�near and far�察�as through the past�察�shall

this law hold good�此�Nothing that is vast enters into the life of

mortals without a curse。



                                                        antistrophe 2



    For that hope whose wanderings are so wide is to many men a

comfort�察�but to many a false lure of giddy desires�察�and the

disappointment comes on one who knoweth nought till he burn his foot

against the hot fire。

    For with wisdom hath some one given forth the famous saying��

that evil seems good�察�soon or late�察�to him whose mind the god draws to

mischief�察�and but for the briefest space doth he fare free of woe。

  LEADER OF THE CHORUS

    But lo�察�Haemon�察�the last of thy sons�察�Comes he grieving for the

doom of his promised bride�察�Antigone�察�and bitter for the baffled

hope of his marriage��

                                                       ��Enter HAEMON��

  CREON

    We shall know soon�察�better than seers could tell us。´My son��

hearing the fixed doom of thy betrothed�察�art thou come in rage against

thy father�拭�Or have I thy good will�察�act how I may��

  HAEMON

    Father�察�I am thine�察�and thou�察�in thy wisdom�察�tracest for me

rules which I shall follow。 No marriage shall be deemed by me a

greater gain than thy good guidance。

  CREON

    Yea�察�this�察�my son�察�should be thy heart's fixed law�察�in all

things to obey thy father's will。 'Tis for this that men pray to see

dutiful children grow up around them in their homes�察�that such may

requite their father's foe with evil�察�and honour�察�as their father

doth�察�his friend。 But he who begets unprofitable children´what shall

we say that he hath sown�察�but troubles for himself�察�and much triumph

for his foes�拭�Then do not thou�察�my son�察�at pleasure's beck�察�dethrone

thy reason for a woman's sake�察�knowing that this is a joy that soon

grows cold in clasping arms�察�an evil woman to share thy bed and thy

home。 For what wound could strike deeper than a false friend�拭�Nay��

with loathing�察�and as if she were thine enemy�察�let this girl go to

find a husband in the house of Hades。 For since I have taken her��

alone of all the city�察�in open disobedience�察�I will not make myself

a liar to my people´I will slay her。

    So let her appeal as she will to the majesty of kindred blood。

If I am to nurture mine own kindred in naughtiness�察�needs must I

bear with it in aliens。 He who does his duty in his own household will

be found righteous in the State also。 But if any one transgresses�察�and

does violence to the laws�察�or thinks to dictate to his rulers�察�such an

one can win no praise from me。 No�察�whomsoever the city may appoint��

that man must be obeyed�察�in little things and great�察�in just things

and unjust�察�and I should feel sure that one who thus obeys would be

a good ruler no less than a good subject�察�and in the storm of spears

would stand his ground where he was set�察�loyal and dauntless at his

comrade's side。

    But disobedience is the worst of evils。 This it is that ruins

cities�察�this makes homes desolate�察�by this�察�the ranks of allies are

broken into head´long rout�察�but�察�of the lives whose course is fair��

the greater part owes safety to obedience。 Therefore we must support

the cause of order�察�and in no wise suffer a woman to worst us。

Better to fall from power�察�if we must�察�by a man's hand�察�then we should

not be called weaker than a woman。

  LEADER

    To us�察�unless our years have stolen our wit�察�thou seemest to say

wisely what thou sayest。

  HAEMON

    Father�察�the gods implant reason in men�察�the highest of all

things that we call our own。 Not mine the skill´far from me be the

quest� �to say wherein thou speakest not aright�察�and yet another man��

too�察�might have some useful thought。 At least�察�it is my natural office

to watch�察�on thy behalf�察�all that men say�察�or do�察�or find to blame。

For the dread of thy frown forbids the citizen to speak such words

as would offend thine ear�察�but can hear these murmurs in the dark��

these moanings of the city for this maiden�察�'no woman��' they say��

'ever merited her doom less�察�none ever was to die so shamefully for

deeds so glorious as hers�察�who�察�when her own brother had fallen in

bloody strife�察�would not leave him unburied�察�to be devoured by carrion

dogs�察�or by any bird�此�deserves not she the meed of golden honour��'

    Such is the darkling rumour that spreads in secret。 For me�察�my

father�察�no treasure is so precious as thy welfare。 What�察�indeed�察�is

a nobler ornament for children than a prospering sire's fair fame��

or for sire than son's�拭�Wear not�察�then�察�one mood only in thyself��

think not that thy word�察�and thine alone�察�must be right。 For if any

man thinks that he alone is wise�察�that in speech�察�or in mind�察�he

hath no peer�察�such a soul�察�when laid open�察�is ever found empty。

    No�察�though a man be wise�察�'tis no shame for him to learn many

things�察�and to bend in season。 Seest thou�察�beside the wintry torrent's

course�察�how the trees that yield to it save every twig�察�while the

stiff´necked perish root and branch�拭�And even thus he who keeps the

sheet of his sail taut�察�and never slackens it�察�upsets his boat�察�and

finishes his voyage with keel uppermost。

    Nay�察�forego thy wrath�察�permit thyself to change。 For if I�察�a

younger man�察�may offer my thought�察�it were far best�察�I ween�察�that

men should be all´wise by nature�察�but�察�otherwise´and oft the scale

inclines not so´'tis good also to learn from those who speak aright。

  LEADER

    Sire�察�'tis meet that thou shouldest profit by his words�察�if he

speaks aught in season�察�and thou�察�Haemon�察�by thy father's�察�for on both

parts there hath been wise speech。

  CREON

    Men of my age are we indeed to be schooled�察�then�察�by men of his��

  HAEMON

    In nothing that is not right�察�but if I am young�察�thou shouldest

look to my merits�察�not to my years。

  CREON

    Is it a merit to honour the unruly��

  HAEMON

    I could wish no one to show respect for evil´doers。

  CREON

    Then is not she tainted with that malady��

  HAEMON

    Our Theban folk�察�with one voice�察�denies it。

  CREON

    Shall Thebes prescribe to me how I must rule��

  HAEMON

    See�察�there thou hast spoken like a youth indeed。

  CREON

    Am I to rule this land by other judgment than mine own��

  HAEMON

    That is no city which belongs to one man。

  CREON

    Is not the city held to b
