That is no city which belongs to one man。
CREON
Is not the city held to be the ruler's��
HAEMON
Thou wouldst make a good monarch of a desert。
CREON
This boy�察�it seems�察�is the woman's champion。
HAEMON
If thou art a woman�察�indeed�察�my care is for thee。
CREON
Shameless�察�at open feud with thy father��
HAEMON
Nay�察�I see thee offending against justice。
CREON
Do I offend�察�when I respect mine own prerogatives��
HAEMON
Thou dost not respect them�察�when thou tramplest on the gods'
honours��
CREON
O dastard nature�察�yielding place to woman��
HAEMON
Thou wilt never find me yield to baseness。
CREON
All thy words�察�at least�察�plead for that girl。
HAEMON
And for thee�察�and for me�察�and for the gods below。
CREON
Thou canst never marry her�察�on this side the grave。
HAEMON
Then she must die�察�and in death destroy another。
CREON
How� �doth thy boldness run to open threats��
HAEMON
What threat is it�察�to combat vain resolves��
CREON
Thou shalt rue thy witless teaching of wisdom。
HAEMON
Wert thou not my father�察�I would have called thee unwise。
CREON
Thou woman's slave�察�use not wheedling speech with me。
HAEMON
Thou wouldest speak�察�and then hear no reply��
CREON
Sayest thou so�拭�Now�察�by the heaven above us´be sure of it´thou
shalt smart for taunting me in this opprobrious strain。 Bring forth
that hated thing�察�that she may die forthwith in his presence´before
his eyes´at her bridegroom's side��
HAEMON
No�察�not at my side´never think it´shall she perish�察�nor shalt thou
ever set eyes more upon my face�此�rave�察�then�察�with such friends as
can endure thee。
��Exit HAEMON��
LEADER
The man is gone�察�O king�察�in angry haste�察�a youthful mind�察�when
stung�察�is fierce。
CREON
Let him do�察�or dream�察�more than man´good speed to him� �But he
shall not save these two girls from their doom。
LEADER
Dost thou indeed purpose to slay both��
CREON
Not her whose hands are pure�此�thou sayest well。
LEADER
And by what doom mean'st thou to slay the other��
CREON
I will take her where the path is loneliest�察�and hide her�察�living��
in rocky vault�察�with so much food set forth as piety prescribes��
that the city may avoid a public stain。 And there�察�praying to Hades��
the only god whom she worships�察�perchance she will obtain release from
death�察�or else will learn�察�at last�察�though late�察�that it is lost
labour to revere the dead。
��CREON goes into the palace。��
CHORUS ��singing��
strophe
Love�察�unconquered in the fight�察�Love�察�who makest havoc of
wealth�察�who keepest thy vigil on the soft cheek of a maiden�察�thou
roamest over the sea�察�and among the homes of dwellers in the wilds�察�no
immortal can escape thee�察�nor any among men whose life is for a day��
and he to whom thou hast come is mad。
antistrophe
The just themselves have their minds warped by thee to wrong��
for their ruin�此�'tis thou that hast stirred up this present strife
of kinsmen�察�victorious is the love´kindling light from the eyes of the
fair bride�察�it is a power enthroned in sway beside the eternal laws��
for there the goddess Aphrodite is working her unconquerable will。
��ANTIGONE is led out of the palace by two Of CREON'S attendants who
are about to conduct her to her doom。��
But now I also am carried beyond the bounds of loyalty�察�and can no
more keep back the streaming tears�察�when I see Antigone thus passing
to the bridal chamber where all are laid to rest。
��The following lines between ANTIGONE and the CHORUS are chanted
responsively。��
ANTIGONE
strophe 1
See me�察�citizens of my fatherland�察�setting forth on my last way��
looking my last on the sunlight that is for me no more�察�no�察�Hades
who gives sleep to all leads me living to Acheron's shore�察�who have
had no portion in the chant that brings the bride�察�nor hath any song
been mine for the crowning of bridals�察�whom the lord of the Dark
Lake shall wed。
CHORUS
systema 1
Glorious�察�therefore�察�and with praise�察�thou departest to that
deep place of the dead�此�wasting sickness hath not smitten thee�察�thou
hast not found the wages of the sword�察�no�察�mistress of thine own fate��
and still alive�察�thou shalt pass to Hades�察�as no other of mortal
kind hath passed。
ANTIGONE
antistrophe 1
I have heard in other days how dread a doom befell our Phrygian
guest�察�the daughter of Tantalus�察�on the Sipylian heights�察�I how��
like clinging ivy�察�the growth of stone subdued her�察�and the rains fail
not�察�as men tell�察�from her wasting form�察�nor fails the snow�察�while
beneath her weeping lids the tears bedew her bosom�察�and most like to
hers is the fate that brings me to my rest。
CHORUS
systema 2
Yet she was a goddess�察�thou knowest�察�and born of gods�察�we are
mortals�察�and of mortal race。 But 'tis great renown for a woman who
hath perished that she should have shared the doom of the godlike��
in her life�察�and afterward in death。
ANTIGONE
strophe 2
Ah�察�I am mocked� �In the name of our fathers' gods�察�can ye not wait
till I am gone�察�must ye taunt me to my face�察�O my city�察�and ye�察�her
wealthy sons�拭�Ah�察�fount of Dirce�察�and thou holy ground of Thebe
whose chariots are many�察�ye�察�at least�察�will bear me witness�察�in what
sort�察�unwept of friends�察�and by what laws I pass to the rock´closed
prison of my strange tomb�察�ah me unhappy� �who have no home on the
earth or in the shades�察�no home with the living or with the dead。
CHORUS
strophe 3
Thou hast rushed forward to the utmost verge of daring�察�and
against that throne where justice sits on high thou hast fallen�察�my
daughter�察�with a grievous fall。 But in this ordeal thou art paying��
haply�察�for thy father's sin。
ANTIGONE
antistrophe 2
Thou hast touched on my bitterest thought�察�awaking the ever´new
lament for my sire and for all the doom given to us�察�the famed house
of Labdacus。 Alas for the horrors of the mother's bed� �alas for the
wretched mother's slumber at the side of her own son�察�and my sire��
From what manner of parents did I take my miserable being� �And to them
I go thus�察�accursed�察�unwed�察�to share their home。 Alas�察�my brother��
ill´starred in thy marriage�察�in thy death thou hast undone my life��
CHORUS
antistrophe 3
Reverent action claims a certain praise for reverence�察�but an
offence against power cannot be brooked by him who hath power in his
keeping。 Thy self´willed temper hath wrought thy ruin。
ANTIGONE
epode
Unwept�察�unfriended�察�without marriage´song�察�I am led forth in my
sorrow on this journey that can be delayed no more。 No longer�察�hapless
one�察�may I behold yon day´star's sacred eye�察�but for my fate no tear
is shed�察�no friend makes moan。
��CREON enters from the palace。��
CREON
Know ye not that songs and wailings before death would never
cease�察�if it profited to utter them�拭�Away with her´away� �And when ye
have enclosed her�察�according to my word�察�in her vaulted grave�察�leave
her alone�察�forlorn´whether she wishes to die�察�or to live a buried life
in such a home。 Our hands are clean as touching this maiden。 But
this is certain´she shall be deprived of her sojourn in the light。
ANTIGONE
Tomb�察�bridal´chamber�察�eternal prison in the caverned rock�察�whither
go to find mine own�察�those many who have perished�察�and whom Persephone
hath received among the dead� �Last of all shall I pass thither�察�and
far most miserably of all�察�before the term of my life is spent。 But
I cherish good hope that my coming will be welcome to my father�察�and
pleasant to thee�察�my mother�察�and welcome�察�brother�察�to thee�察�for��
when ye died�察�with mine own hands I washed and dressed you�察�and poured
drink´offerings at your graves�察�and now�察�Polyneices�察�'tis for
tending thy corpse that I win such recompense as this。
And yet I honoured thee�察�as the wise will deem�察�rightly。 Never��
had been a mother of children�察�or if a husband had been mouldering
in death�察�would I have taken this task upon me in the city's
despite。 What law�察�ye ask�察�is my warrant for that word�拭�The husband
lost�察�another might have been found�察�and child from another�察�to
replace the first´born�此�but�察�father and mother hidden with Hades�察�no
brother's life could ever bloom for me again。 Such was the law whereby
I held thee first in honour�察�but Creon deemed me guilty of error
therein�察�and of outrage�察�ah brother mine� �And now he leads me thus��
a captive in his hands�察�no bridal bed�察�no bridal song hath been
mine�察�no joy of marriage�察�no portion in the nurture of children�察�but
thus�察�forlorn of friends�察�unhappy one�察�I go living to the vaults of
death。
And what law of heaven have I transgressed�拭�Why�察�hapless one��
should I look to the gods any more�察�what ally should I invoke�察�when by
piety I have earned the name of impious�拭�Nay�察�then�察�if these things
are pleasing to the gods�察�when I have suffered my doom�察�I shall come
to know my sin�察�but if the sin is with my judges�察�I could wish them no
fuller measure of evil than the
