CREON
Strange merit this to sanction lawlessness��
HAEMON
For evil´doers I would urge no plea。
CREON
Is not this maid an arrant law´breaker��
HAEMON
The Theban commons with one voice say�察�No。
CREON
What�察�shall the mob dictate my policy��
HAEMON
'Tis thou�察�methinks�察�who speakest like a boy。
CREON
Am I to rule for others�察�or myself��
HAEMON
A State for one man is no State at all。
CREON
The State is his who rules it�察�so 'tis held。
HAEMON
As monarch of a desert thou wouldst shine。
CREON
This boy�察�methinks�察�maintains the woman's cause。
HAEMON
If thou be'st woman�察�yes。 My thought's for thee。
CREON
O reprobate�察�would'st wrangle with thy sire��
HAEMON
Because I see thee wrongfully perverse。
CREON
And am I wrong�察�if I maintain my rights��
HAEMON
Talk not of rights�察�thou spurn'st the due of Heaven
CREON
O heart corrupt�察�a woman's minion thou��
HAEMON
Slave to dishonor thou wilt never find me。
CREON
Thy speech at least was all a plea for her。
HAEMON
And thee and me�察�and for the gods below。
CREON
Living the maid shall never be thy bride。
HAEMON
So she shall die�察�but one will die with her。
CREON
Hast come to such a pass as threaten me��
HAEMON
What threat is this�察�vain counsels to reprove��
CREON
Vain fool to instruct thy betters�察�thou shall rue it。
HAEMON
Wert not my father�察�I had said thou err'st。
CREON
Play not the spaniel�察�thou a woman's slave。
HAEMON
When thou dost speak�察�must no man make reply��
CREON
This passes bounds。 By heaven�察�thou shalt not rate
And jeer and flout me with impunity。
Off with the hateful thing that she may die
At once�察�beside her bridegroom�察�in his sight。
HAEMON
Think not that in my sight the maid shall die��
Or by my side�察�never shalt thou again
Behold my face hereafter。 Go�察�consort
With friends who like a madman for their mate。
��Exit HAEMON��
CHORUS
Thy son has gone�察�my liege�察�in angry haste。
Fell is the wrath of youth beneath a smart。
CREON
Let him go vent his fury like a fiend��
These sisters twain he shall not save from death。
CHORUS
Surely�察�thou meanest not to slay them both��
CREON
I stand corrected�察�only her who touched
The body。
CHORUS
And what death is she to die��
CREON
She shall be taken to some desert place
By man untrod�察�and in a rock´hewn cave��
With food no more than to avoid the taint
That homicide might bring on all the State��
Buried alive。 There let her call in aid
The King of Death�察�the one god she reveres��
Or learn too late a lesson learnt at last��
'Tis labor lost�察�to reverence the dead。
CHORUS
��Str。��
Love resistless in fight�察�all yield at a glance of thine eye��
Love who pillowed all night on a maiden's cheek dost lie��
Over the upland holds。 Shall mortals not yield to thee��
��Ant��。
Mad are thy subjects all�察�and even the wisest heart
Straight to folly will fall�察�at a touch of thy poisoned dart。
Thou didst kindle the strife�察�this feud of kinsman with kin��
By the eyes of a winsome wife�察�and the yearning her heart to win。
For as her consort still�察�enthroned with Justice above��
Thou bendest man to thy will�察�O all invincible Love。
Lo I myself am borne aside��
From Justice�察�as I view this bride。
��O sight an eye in tears to drown��
Antigone�察�so young�察�so fair��
Thus hurried down
Death's bower with the dead to share。
ANTIGONE
��Str。 1��
Friends�察�countrymen�察�my last farewell I make��
My journey's done。
One last fond�察�lingering�察�longing look I take
At the bright sun。
For Death who puts to sleep both young and old
Hales my young life��
And beckons me to Acheron's dark fold��
An unwed wife。
No youths have sung the marriage song for me��
My bridal bed
No maids have strewn with flowers from the lea��
'Tis Death I wed。
CHORUS
But bethink thee�察�thou art sped��
Great and glorious�察�to the dead。
Thou the sword's edge hast not tasted��
No disease thy frame hath wasted。
Freely thou alone shalt go
Living to the dead below。
ANTIGONE
��Ant。 1��
Nay�察�but the piteous tale I've heard men tell
Of Tantalus' doomed child��
Chained upon Siphylus' high rocky fell��
That clung like ivy wild��
Drenched by the pelting rain and whirling snow��
Left there to pine��
While on her frozen breast the tears aye flow
Her fate is mine。
CHORUS
She was sprung of gods�察�divine��
Mortals we of mortal line。
Like renown with gods to gain
Recompenses all thy pain。
Take this solace to thy tomb
Hers in life and death thy doom。
ANTIGONE
��Str。 2��
Alack�察�alack� �Ye mock me。 Is it meet
Thus to insult me living�察�to my face��
Cease�察�by our country's altars I entreat��
Ye lordly rulers of a lordly race。
O fount of Dirce�察�wood´embowered plain
Where Theban chariots to victory speed��
Mark ye the cruel laws that now have wrought my bane��
The friends who show no pity in my need��
Was ever fate like mine�拭 �O monstrous doom��
Within a rock´built prison sepulchered��
To fade and wither in a living tomb��
And alien midst the living and the dead。
CHORUS
��Str。 3��
In thy boldness over´rash
Madly thou thy foot didst dash
'Gainst high Justice' altar stair。
Thou a father's guild dost bear。
ANTIGONE
��Ant。 2��
At this thou touchest my most poignant pain��
My ill´starred father's piteous disgrace��
The taint of blood�察�the hereditary stain��
That clings to all of Labdacus' famed race。
Woe worth the monstrous marriage´bed where lay
A mother with the son her womb had borne��
Therein I was conceived�察�woe worth the day��
Fruit of incestuous sheets�察�a maid forlorn��
And now I pass�察�accursed and unwed��
To meet them as an alien there below��
And thee�察�O brother�察�in marriage ill´bestead��
'Twas thy dead hand that dealt me this death´blow。
CHORUS
Religion has her chains�察�'tis true��
Let rite be paid when rites are due。
Yet is it ill to disobey
The powers who hold by might the sway。
Thou hast withstood authority��
A self´willed rebel�察�thou must die。
ANTIGONE
Unwept�察�unwed�察�unfriended�察�hence I go��
No longer may I see the day's bright eye��
Not one friend left to share my bitter woe��
And o'er my ashes heave one passing sigh。
CREON
If wail and lamentation aught availed
To stave off death�察�I trow they'd never end。
Away with her�察�and having walled her up
In a rock´vaulted tomb�察�as I ordained��
Leave her alone at liberty to die��
Or�察�if she choose�察�to live in solitude��
The tomb her dwelling。 We in either case
Are guiltless as concerns this maiden's blood��
Only on earth no lodging shall she find。
ANTIGONE
O grave�察�O bridal bower�察�O prison house
Hewn from the rock�察�my everlasting home��
Whither I go to join the mighty host
Of kinsfolk�察�Persephassa's guests long dead��
The last of all�察�of all more miserable��
I pass�察�my destined span of years cut short。
And yet good hope is mine that I shall find
A welcome from my sire�察�a welcome too��
From thee�察�my mother�察�and my brother dear��
From with these hands�察�I laved and decked your limbs
In death�察�and poured libations on your grave。
And last�察�my Polyneices�察�unto thee
I paid due rites�察�and this my recompense��
Yet am I justified in wisdom's eyes。
For even had it been some child of mine��
Or husband mouldering in death's decay��
I had not wrought this deed despite the State。
What is the law I call in aid�拭 �'Tis thus
I argue。 Had it been a husband dead
I might have wed another�察�and have borne
Another child�察�to take the dead child's place。
But�察�now my sire and mother both are dead��
No second brother can be born for me。
Thus by the law of conscience I was led
To honor thee�察�dear brother�察�and was judged
By Creon guilty of a heinous crime。
And now he drags me like a criminal��
A bride unwed�察�amerced of marriage´song
And marriage´bed and joys of motherhood��
By friends deserted to a living grave。
What ordinance of heaven have I transgressed��
Hereafter can I look to any god
For succor�察�call on any man for help��
Alas�察�my piety is impious deemed。
Well�察�if such justice is approved of heaven��
I shall be taught by suffering my sin��
But if the sin is theirs�察�O may they suffer
No worse ills than the wrongs they do to me。
CHORUS
The same ungovernable will
Drives like a gale the maiden still。
CREON
Therefore�察�my guards who let her stay
Shall smart full sore for their delay。
ANTIGONE
Ah�察�woe is me� �This word I hear
Brings death most near。
CHORUS
I have no comfort。 What he saith��
Portends no other thing than death。
ANTIGONE
My fatherland�察�city of Thebes divine��
Ye gods of Thebes whence sprang my line��
Look�察�puissant lords of Thebes�察�on me��
The last of all your royal house ye see。
Martyred by men of sin�察�undone。
Such meed my piety hath won。
��Exit ANTIGONE��
CHORUS
��Str。 1��
Like to thee that maiden bright��
Danae�察�in her brass´bound tower��
Once exchanged the glad sunlight
For a cell�察�her bridal bower。
And yet she sprang of royal line��
My child�察�like thine��
And nursed the seed
By her conceived
Of Zeus descending in a golden shower。
Strange are the ways of Fate�察�her power
Nor wealth�察�nor arms withstand�察�nor tower��
Nor brass´prowed ships�察�that breast the sea
From Fate can flee。
��Ant。 1��
Thus Dryas' child�察�the rash Edonian King��
For words of high disdain
Did Bacchus to a rocky dungeon bring��
To cool the madness of a fevered brain。
His frenzy passed��
He learnt at last
'Twas madness gibes against a god to fling。
For once he fain had quenched the Maenad's fire��
And of the tuneful Nine provoked the ire。
��Str。 2��
By the Iron Rocks that guard the double main��
On Bosporus' lone strand��
Where stretcheth Salmydessus' plain
In the wild Thracian land��
There on his borders Ares witnessed
The vengeance by a jealous step´dame ta'en
The gore that trickled from a spindle red��
The sightless orbits of her step
