Auch edlen Geist reiſsest du hin
zu Missethat, hin zu Verderben;
765
auch Vaters und Sohnes Zwist jetzt erregtest du, und es sieget,
den Wimpern lustbettender Braut heftig entstrahlt, Liebreiz,
er mitthronend im Rath mächtiger Rechte;
denn nimmerbezwungnes Spiel übt Herrscherin Aphrodite.
(Antigone wird gebracht.)

¡Amor invencible en la pelea! ¡Amor que en el corazón te infundes, que en las tiernas mejillas de la muchacha te posas y pasas al otro lado del mar y frecuentas las rústicas cabañas! De ti no se libra nadie entre los inmortales, ni entre los efímeros hombres; y quien te recibe, se enfurece.

Amor invicte in pugnis, Amor, qui opes non aífectas, qui puellae mollibus excubas in genis, transque maria permeas, penetrasque te in silvestria lustra;

Where human footstep shuns the desert ground,
I’ll hide her living in a cave like vault,
With so much provender as may prevent
Pollution from o’ertaking the whole city
And there, perchance, she may obtain of Death,

Her only deity, to spare her soul,
Or else in that last moment she will learn

Der Nachts auf schlummernder Jungfrau'n

Und kein ewiger Gott kann dir entrinnen,
Kein sterblicher Mensch, des Tages Sohn;
Und ergriffen rast er.

635-765. mvp-comment-375-1 Haemon professes obedience to his father, but with the implied condition that his father commands what is right. Not heeding this, Creon welcomes his general profession, and enlarges on the blessings that follow from obedience in public and private. He urges Haemon to renounce Antigone. Haemon replies by repeating the praise of her which he has heard in the city (Ar. Rhet. 3. 17, ἕτερον χρὴ λέγοντα ποιεῖν.. ὡς Σοφοκλῆς τὸν Αἴμονα ὑπὲρ τῆς Ἀντιγόνης πρὸς τὸν πατέρα, ὡς λεγόντων ἑτέρων), and begs his father not to be deaf to all opinions but his own. Creon is impatient at this, and, after an altercation, in which both speakers become exasperated, Creon orders Antigone to be brought for immediate execution, and Haemon breaks away in sullen anger. This episode interposes a necessary pause between the condemnation of Antigone and its results, i. e, between the two chief crises of the action, and assists the main impression by bringing the light of natural affection and common opinion to bear on the situation.

765. mvp-comment-447-1 So that you may exhibit your madness to those of your friends who can brook it. θέλουσι, sc. σοὶ μαινομένῳ ξυνεῖναι. There is a strong emphasis on this participle.
