Du lockst auch unschuldigen Sinn
In böse Schuld, ihn zu verderben;
785
Du hast auch eben die Zwietracht
Des Vaters und Sohns entzündet.
Im Blick der holdseligen Braut
Leuchtet der Sehnsucht Macht
Siegreich, thronend im Rath hoher Geseze;

Denn nimmerbezwingbar übt ihr Spiel

Chorus
Love, the unconquered in battle, Love, you who descend upon riches, and watch the night through on a girl’s soft cheek,
you roam over the sea and among the homes of men in the wilds. Neither can any immortal escape you,
785
nor any man whose life lasts for a day. He who has known you is driven to madness.

Chorus
You seize the minds of just men and drag them to injustice, to their ruin. You it is who have incited this conflict of men whose flesh and blood are one.
But victory belongs to radiant Desire swelling from the eyes of the sweet-bedded bride. Desire sits enthroned in power beside the mighty laws.
795
For in all this divine Aphrodite plays her irresistible game.

Enter Antigone under guard from the palace.
Chorus
But now, witnessing this, I too am carried beyond the bounds of loyalty. The power fails me to keep back my streaming tears any longer, when I see Antigone making her way to the chamber where all are laid to rest,
now her bridal chamber.
