Tú de los hombres justos arrancas injustas determinaciones, para arruinarlos; y también tú has concitado la rencilla en esta familia. Triunfa el brillante atractivo de los ojos de la novia que ha de alegrar el lecho, y que atrae contra las más grandes instituciones; pues sin que se la pueda resistir, juega de nosotros la diosa Venus.

’Tis labour lost to worship powers unseen.
Love, never foiled in fight!
Warrior Love, that on Wealth workest havoc!
Love, who in ambush of young maid’s soft cheek

All night keep’st watch!—Thou roamest over seas.
In lonely forest homes thou harbourest.

Tú arrastras á los buenos al erimen y ála injusticia; tú eres quien acaba de suscitar esa reyerta entre el padre y el hijo. De todo triunfa el amor que inspiran los ojos de una hermosa. El amor preside con los dioses á las loyes de la naturaleza. ¡Cómo juega con nosotros la irresistible Afródita!...

223-330. mvp-comment-136-1 The half-comic or rustic character of the watchman in this play is an extension of the common character of the messenger, whose natural rudeness of speech and thought brings into greater prominence the horror or pathos of the events he describes. The grotesqueness disappears when he speaks of the action of Antigone in 407-440. The employment of this artifice by Sophocles arises from the same motive to which Shakespeare gave a far wider range in such creations as the gravediggers in Hamlet, and the rural fellow in Antony and Cleopatra. The Messenger in the Trachiniae, the Corinthian in the Oedipus Tyrannus, Menelaus in the Ajax, the pretended Shipmaster in the Philoctetes, afford the same sort of contrast to the more tragic personages: and the superstition of the Coloniatae may be compared with the cowardice of the Phrygian slave in the Orestes of Euripides.

223-330. mvp-comment-136-2 The vulgarity of the common-place Athenian of the fifth century в.с. takes the form of misplaced subtlety of wit. Cp. Shak. Hamlet, 5. 1 ,

We must speak by the card, or equivocation will undo us. The age is grown so picked, that the toe of the peasant comes so near the heel of the courtier, he galls his kibe.
