CREON
No more�察�indeed�察�having that�察�I have all。
ANTIGONE
Why then dost thou delay�拭�In thy discourse there is nought that
pleases me�察�never may there be� �and so my words must needs be
unpleasing to thee。 And yet�察�for glory´whence could I have won a
nobler�察�than by giving burial to mine own brother�拭�All here would
own that they thought it well�察�were not their lips sealed by fear。 But
royalty�察�blest in so much besides�察�hath the power to do and say what
it will。
CREON
Thou differest from all these Thebans in that view。
ANTIGONE
These also share it�察�but they curb their tongues for thee。
CREON
And art thou not ashamed to act apart from them��
ANTIGONE
No�察�there is nothing shameful in piety to a brother。
CREON
Was it not a brother�察�too�察�that died in the opposite cause��
ANTIGONE
Brother by the same mother and the same sire。
CREON
Why�察�then�察�dost thou render a grace that is impious in his sight��
ANTIGONE
The dead man will not say that he so deems it。
CREON
Yea�察�if thou makest him but equal in honour with the wicked。
ANTIGONE
It was his brother�察�not his slave�察�that perished。
CREON
Wasting this land�察�while he fell as its champion。
ANTIGONE
Nevertheless�察�Hades desires these rites。
CREON
But the good desires not a like portion with the evil。
ANTIGONE
Who knows but this seems blameless in the world below��
CREON
A foe is never a friend´not even in death。
ANTIGONE
Tis not my nature to join in hating�察�but in loving。
CREON
Pass�察�then�察�to the world of the dead�察�and�察�it thou must needs
love�察�love them。 While I live�察�no woman shall rule me。
��Enter ISMENE from the house�察�led in by two attendants。��
CHORUS ��chanting��
Lo�察�yonder Ismene comes forth�察�shedding such tears as fond sisters
weep�察�a cloud upon her brow casts its shadow over her
darkly´flushing face�察�and breaks in rain on her fair cheek。
CREON
And thou�察�who�察�lurking like a viper in my house�察�wast secretly
draining my life´blood�察�while I knew not that I was nurturing two
pests�察�to rise against my throne´come�察�tell me now�察�wilt thou also
confess thy part in this burial�察�or wilt thou forswear all knowledge
of it��
ISMENE
I have done the deed�察�if she allows my claim�察�and share the burden
of the charge。
ANTIGONE
Nay�察�justice will not suffer thee to do that�此�thou didst not
consent to the deed�察�nor did I give thee part in it。
ISMENE
But�察�now that ills beset thee�察�I am not ashamed to sail the sea of
trouble at thy side。
ANTIGONE
Whose was the deed�察�Hades and the dead are witnesses�此�a friend
in words is not the friend that I love。
ISMENE
Nay�察�sister�察�reject me not�察�but let me die with thee�察�and duly
honour the dead。
ANTIGONE
Share not thou my death�察�nor claim deeds to which thou hast not
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。
��Exeunt attendants�察�guarding ANTIGONE and ISMENE。´CREON remains。��
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 househo
