CREON
Yea�察�and more�察�the seller of thy life for silver。
GUARD
Alas� �'Tis sad�察�truly�察�that he who judges should misjudge。
CREON
Let thy fancy play with 'judgment' as it will�察�but�察�if ye show
me not the doers of these things�察�ye shall avow that dastardly gains
work sorrows。
��CREON goes into the palace。��
GUARD
Well�察�may he be found� �so 'twere best。 But�察�be he caught or be
he not´fortune must settle that´truly thou wilt not see me here again。
Saved�察�even now�察�beyond hope and thought�察�I owe the gods great thanks。
��The GUARD goes out on the spectators' left。��
CHORUS ��singing��
strophe 1
Wonders are many�察�and none is more wonderful than man�察�the power
that crosses the white sea�察�driven by the stormy south´wind�察�making
a path under surges that threaten to engulf him�察�and Earth�察�the eldest
of the gods�察�the immortal�察�the unwearied�察�doth he wear�察�turning the
soil with the offspring of horses�察�as the ploughs go to and fro from
year to year。
antistrophe 1
And the light´hearted race of birds�察�and the tribes of savage
beasts�察�and the sea´brood of the deep�察�he snares in the meshes of
his woven toils�察�he leads captive�察�man excellent in wit。 And he
masters by his arts the beast whose lair is in the wilds�察�who roams
the hills�察�he tames the horse of shaggy mane�察�he puts the yoke upon
its neck�察�he tames the tireless mountain bull。
strophe 2
And speech�察�and wind´swift thought�察�and all the moods that mould a
state�察�hath he taught himself�察�and how to flee the arrows of the
frost�察�when 'tis hard lodging under the clear sky�察�and the arrows of
the rushing rain�察�yea�察�he hath resource for all�察�without resource he
meets nothing that must come�此�only against Death shall he call for aid
in vain�察�but from baffling maladies he hath devised escapes。
antistrophe 2
Cunning beyond fancy's dream is the fertile skill which brings
him�察�now to evil�察�now to good。 When he honours the laws of the land��
and that justice which he hath sworn by the gods to uphold�察�proudly
stands his city�此�no city hath he who�察�for his rashness�察�dwells with
sin。 Never may he share my hearth�察�never think my thoughts�察�who doth
these things��
��Enter the GUARD on the spectators' left�察�leading in ANTIGONE。��
LEADER OF THE CHORUS
What portent from the gods is this�拭�my soul is amazed。 I know
her´how can I deny that yon maiden is Antigone��
O hapless�察�and child of hapless sire�察�Of Oedipus� �What means this��
Thou brought a prisoner�拭�thou�察�disloyal to the king's laws�察�and
taken in folly��
GUARD
Here she is�察�the doer of the deed�此�caught this girl burying
him�此�but where is Creon��
��CREON enters hurriedly from the palace。��
LEADER
Lo�察�he comes forth again from the house�察�at our need。
CREON
What is it�拭�What hath chanced�察�that makes my coming timely��
GUARD
O king�察�against nothing should men pledge their word�察�for the
after´thought belies the first intent。 I could have vowed that I
should not soon be here again�察�scared by thy threats�察�with which I had
just been lashed�此�but�察�since the joy that surprises and transcends our
hopes is like in fulness to no other pleasure�察�I have come�察�though
'tis in breach of my sworn oath�察�bringing this maid�察�who was taken
showing grace to the dead。 This time there was no casting of lots�察�no��
this luck hath fallen to me�察�and to none else。 And now�察�sire�察�take her
thyself�察�question her�察�examine her�察�as thou wilt�察�but I have a right
to free and final quittance of this trouble。
CREON
And thy prisoner here´how and whence hast thou taken her��
GUARD
She was burying the man�察�thou knowest all。
CREON
Dost thou mean what thou sayest�拭�Dost thou speak aright��
GUARD
I saw her burying the corpse that thou hadst forbidden to bury。 Is
that plain and clear��
CREON
And how was she seen�拭�how taken in the act��
GUARD
It befell on this wise。 When we had come to the place�察�with
those dread menaces of thine upon us�察�we swept away all the dust
that covered the corpse�察�and bared the dank body well�察�and then sat us
down on the brow of the hill�察�to windward�察�heedful that the smell from
him should not strike us�察�every man was wide awake�察�and kept his
neighbour alert with torrents of threats�察�if anyone should be careless
of this task。
So went it�察�until the sun's bright orb stood in mid heaven�察�and
the heat began to burn�此�and then suddenly a whirlwind lifted from
the earth storm of dust�察�a trouble in the sky the plain�察�marring all
the leafage of its woods�察�and the wide air was choked therewith�此�we
closed our eyes�察�and bore the plague from the gods。
And when�察�after a long while�察�this storm had passed�察�the maid
was seen�察�and she cried aloud with the sharp cry of a bird in its
bitterness�察�even as when�察�within the empty nest�察�it sees the bed
stripped of its nestlings。 So she also�察�when she saw the corpse
bare�察�lifted up a voice of wailing�察�and called down curses on the
doers of that deed。 And straightway she brought thirsty dust in her
hands�察�and from a shapely ewer of bronze�察�held high�察�with
thrice´poured drink´offering she crowned the dead。
We rushed forward when we saw it�察�and at once dosed upon our
quarry�察�who was in no wise dismayed。 Then we taxed her with her past
and present doings�察�and she stood not on denial of aught�察�at once to
my joy and to my pain。 To have escaped from ills one's self is a great
joy�察�but 'tis painful to bring friends to ill。 Howbeit�察�all such
things are of less account to me than mine own safety。
CREON
Thou´thou whose face is bent to earth´dost thou avow�察�or
disavow�察�this deed��
ANTIGONE
I avow it�察�I make no denial。
CREON ��to GUARD��
Thou canst betake thee whither thou wilt�察�free and clear of a
grave charge。
��Exit GUARD��
��To ANTIGONE�� Now�察�tell me thou´not in many words�察�but
briefly´knewest thou that an edict had forbidden this��
ANTIGONE
I knew it�此�could I help it�拭�It was public。
CREON
And thou didst indeed dare to transgress that law��
ANTIGONE
Yes�察�for it was not Zeus that had published me that edict�察�not
such are the laws set among men by the justice who dwells with the
gods below�察�nor deemed I that thy decrees were of such force�察�that a
mortal could override the unwritten and unfailing statutes of
heaven。 For their life is not of to´day or yesterday�察�but from all
time�察�and no man knows when they were first put forth。
Not through dread of any human pride could I answer to the gods
for breaking these。 Die I must�察�I knew that well ��how should I
not�殖�´even without thy edicts。 But if I am to die before my time�察�I
count that a gain�此�for when any one lives�察�as I do�察�compassed about
with evils�察�can such an one find aught but gain in death��
So for me to meet this doom is trifling grief�察�but if I had
suffered my mother's son to lie in death an unburied corpse�察�that
would have grieved me�察�for this�察�I am not grieved。 And if my present
deeds are foolish in thy sight�察�it may be that a foolish judge
arraigns my folly。
LEADER OF THE CHORUS
The maid shows herself passionate child of passionate sire�察�and
knows not how to bend before troubles。
CREON
Yet I would have thee know that o'er´stubborn spirits are most
often humbled�察�'tis the stiffest iron�察�baked to hardness in the
fire�察�that thou shalt oftenest see snapped and shivered�察�and I have
known horses that show temper brought to order by a little curb�察�there
is no room for pride when thou art thy neighbour's slave。´This girl
was already versed in insolence when she transgressed the laws that
had been set forth�察�and�察�that done�察�lo�察�a second insult�察�to vaunt of
this�察�and exult in her deed。
Now verily I am no man�察�she is the man�察�if this victory shall rest
with her�察�and bring no penalty。 No� �be she sister's child�察�or nearer
to me in blood than any that worships Zeus at the altar of our
house�察�she and her kinsfolk shall not avoid a doom most dire�察�for
indeed I charge that other with a like share in the plotting of this
burial。
And summon her´for I saw her e'en now within�察�raving�察�and not
mistress of her wits。 So oft�察�before the deed�察�the mind stands
self´convicted in its treason�察�when folks are plotting mischief in the
dark。 But verily this�察�too�察�is hateful�察�when one who hath been
caught in wickednes then seeks to make the crime a glory。
ANTIGONE
Wouldst thou do more than take and slay me��
CREON
No more�察�indeed�察�having that�察�I have all。
ANTIGONE
Why then dost tho
