Ah me;…yonder I behold a new; a second woe! What destiny; ah what;
can yet await me? I have but now raised my son in my arms;…and
there; again; I see a corpse before me! Alas; alas; unhappy mother!
Alas; my child!
MESSENGER
There; at the altar; self…stabbed with a keen knife; she
suffered her darkening eyes to close; when she had wailed for the
noble fate of Megareus who died before; and then for his fate who lies
there;…and when; with her last breath; she had invoked evil fortunes
upon thee; the slayer of thy sons。
CREON
strophe 3
Woe; woe! I thrill with dread。 Is there none to strike me to the
heart with two…edged sword?…O miserable that I am; and steeped in
miserable anguish!
MESSENGER
Yea; both this son's doom; and that other's; were laid to thy
charge by her whose corpse thou seest。
CREON
And what was the manner of the violent deed by which she passed
away?
MESSENGER
Her own hand struck her to the heart; when she had learned her
son's sorely lamented fate。
CREON
strophe 4
Ah me; this guilt can never be fixed on any other of mortal
kind; for my acquittal! I; even I; was thy slayer; wretched that I
am…I own the truth。 Lead me away; O my servants; lead me hence with
all speed; whose life is but as death!
CHORUS
Thy counsels are good; if there can be good with ills; briefest is
best; when trouble is in our path。
CREON
antistrophe 3
Oh; let it come; let it appear; that fairest of fates for me; that
brings my last day;…aye; best fate of all! Oh; let it come; that I may
never look upon to…morrow's light。
CHORUS
These things are in the future; present tasks claim our care:
the ordering of the future rests where it should rest。
CREON
All my desires; at least; were summed in that prayer。
CHORUS
Pray thou no more; for mortals have no escape from destined woe。
CREON
antistrophe 4
Lead me away; I pray you; a rash; foolish man; who have slain
thee; ah my son; unwittingly; and thee; too; my wife…unhappy that I
am! I know not which way I should bend my gaze; or where I should seek
support; for all is amiss with that which is in my hands;…and
yonder; again; a crushing fate hath leapt upon my head。
(As CREON is being conducted into the palace; the LEADER OF THE
CHORUS speaks the closing verses。)
LEADER
Wisdom is the supreme part of happiness; and reverence towards the
gods must be inviolate。 Great words of prideful men are ever
punished with great blows; and; in old age; teach the chastened to
be wise。
…THE END…
