  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
