    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…
