bear with it in aliens。 He who does his duty in his own household will
be found righteous in the State also。 But if any one transgresses�察�and
does violence to the laws�察�or thinks to dictate to his rulers�察�such an
one can win no praise from me。 No�察�whomsoever the city may appoint��
that man must be obeyed�察�in little things and great�察�in just things
and unjust�察�and I should feel sure that one who thus obeys would be
a good ruler no less than a good subject�察�and in the storm of spears
would stand his ground where he was set�察�loyal and dauntless at his
comrade's side。
But disobedience is the worst of evils。 This it is that ruins
cities�察�this makes homes desolate�察�by this�察�the ranks of allies are
broken into head´long rout�察�but�察�of the lives whose course is fair��
the greater part owes safety to obedience。 Therefore we must support
the cause of order�察�and in no wise suffer a woman to worst us。
Better to fall from power�察�if we must�察�by a man's hand�察�then we should
not be called weaker than a woman。
LEADER
To us�察�unless our years have stolen our wit�察�thou seemest to say
wisely what thou sayest。
HAEMON
Father�察�the gods implant reason in men�察�the highest of all
things that we call our own。 Not mine the skill´far from me be the
quest� �to say wherein thou speakest not aright�察�and yet another man��
too�察�might have some useful thought。 At least�察�it is my natural office
to watch�察�on thy behalf�察�all that men say�察�or do�察�or find to blame。
For the dread of thy frown forbids the citizen to speak such words
as would offend thine ear�察�but can hear these murmurs in the dark��
these moanings of the city for this maiden�察�'no woman��' they say��
'ever merited her doom less�察�none ever was to die so shamefully for
deeds so glorious as hers�察�who�察�when her own brother had fallen in
bloody strife�察�would not leave him unburied�察�to be devoured by carrion
dogs�察�or by any bird�此�deserves not she the meed of golden honour��'
Such is the darkling rumour that spreads in secret。 For me�察�my
father�察�no treasure is so precious as thy welfare。 What�察�indeed�察�is
a nobler ornament for children than a prospering sire's fair fame��
or for sire than son's�拭�Wear not�察�then�察�one mood only in thyself��
think not that thy word�察�and thine alone�察�must be right。 For if any
man thinks that he alone is wise�察�that in speech�察�or in mind�察�he
hath no peer�察�such a soul�察�when laid open�察�is ever found empty。
No�察�though a man be wise�察�'tis no shame for him to learn many
things�察�and to bend in season。 Seest thou�察�beside the wintry torrent's
course�察�how the trees that yield to it save every twig�察�while the
stiff´necked perish root and branch�拭�And even thus he who keeps the
sheet of his sail taut�察�and never slackens it�察�upsets his boat�察�and
finishes his voyage with keel uppermost。
Nay�察�forego thy wrath�察�permit thyself to change。 For if I�察�a
younger man�察�may offer my thought�察�it were far best�察�I ween�察�that
men should be all´wise by nature�察�but�察�otherwise´and oft the scale
inclines not so´'tis good also to learn from those who speak aright。
LEADER
Sire�察�'tis meet that thou shouldest profit by his words�察�if he
speaks aught in season�察�and thou�察�Haemon�察�by thy father's�察�for on both
parts there hath been wise speech。
CREON
Men of my age are we indeed to be schooled�察�then�察�by men of his��
HAEMON
In nothing that is not right�察�but if I am young�察�thou shouldest
look to my merits�察�not to my years。
CREON
Is it a merit to honour the unruly��
HAEMON
I could wish no one to show respect for evil´doers。
CREON
Then is not she tainted with that malady��
HAEMON
Our Theban folk�察�with one voice�察�denies it。
CREON
Shall Thebes prescribe to me how I must rule��
HAEMON
See�察�there thou hast spoken like a youth indeed。
CREON
Am I to rule this land by other judgment than mine own��
HAEMON
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
