Ya en la puerta tienes a Ismena derramando lágrimas de amor por su hermana; la nube de dolor que le oprime los ojos ensombrece su encendida cara, bañándole las hermosas mejillas.

Lo, yonder Ismene comes forth, shedding such tears as fond sisters weep; a cloud upon her brow casts 530 its shadow over her darkly-flushing face, and breaks in rain on her fair cheek.

Creon

English (Robert Potter, 1788) (OCR draft) Experimental (English (Robert Potter, 1788)) — 531 focus

Thou, like a viper creeping through my house

Ismene

With wily secrecy to drain my blood,

(For little did I think that two such pests

I nurtured, to subvert my throne combined).

Tell me, with her didst thou prepare this tomb

Will thou confess it, or abjure the deed?
540

I did it, with my sister in the deedivi
540

Consorting, and with her partake the blame.

Juctice allows not this: thou hadst no will

To aid; nor with thee did I share the act.

Yet in thy danger I am not ashamed

To make myself a partner of thy fate.
545

Whose deed this is the dead and Pluto know."
545

Love shown in words alone contents not me.

Yet scorn me not, disdain not that I diese

With thee, and pay that reverence to the dead.
550

Die not with me, nor thine make thou a deed
550

Thou didst not: it sufficeth that I die.

Deprived of thee, my sister, how can life:

Be dear to me?

Antigone

Ask Creon: thy regard
555

Is paid to him.

Ismene

English (Sir Richard Jebb2, 1904) (OCR draft) Experimental (English (Sir Richard Jebb2, 1904)) — 583-630 focus

Chorus

Blest are those whose days have not tasted of evil. For when a house has once been shaken by the gods,

no form of ruin is lacking, but it spreads over the bulk of the race, just as, when the surge is driven over the darkness of the deep by the fierce breath of Thracian sea-winds,
585

it rolls up the black sand from the depths, and the wind-beaten headlands that front the blows of the storm give out a mournful roar.
590

593

Chorus

I see that the ancient sorrows of the house of the Labdacids

are heaped upon the sorrows of the dead. Each generation does not set its race free, but some god hurls it down and the race has no release. For now that dazzling ray of hope that had been spread
595

over the last roots in the house of Oedipus—that hope, in its turn, the blood-stained dust of the gods infernal and mindlessness in speech and frenzy at the mind cuts down.
600

605

Chorus

Your power, great Zeus—what human overstepping can check it? Yours is power that neither Sleep, the all-ensnaring, nor the untiring months of the gods can defeat. Unaged through time,
605

you rule by your power and dwell thereby in the brilliant splendor of Olympus . And through the future, both near and distant, as through the past, shall this law prevail: nothing that is vast comes to the life of mortals without ruin.
610

615

Chorus

See how that hope whose wanderings are so wide truly is a benefit to many men, but to an equal number it is a false lure of light-headed desires. The deception comes to one who is wholly unawares until he burns his foot on a hot fire.
615

For with wisdom did someone once reveal the maxim, now famous, that evil at one time or another seems good, to him whose mind a god leads to ruin.
620

But for the briefest moment such a man fares free of destruction.
625

626

Enter Haemon.

Chorus

But here is Haemon, the last of your offspring. Does he come grieving for the doom of Antigone, his promised bride,

and bitter for the deceived hope of their marriage?
