Weh, weh, weh, weh!
Mich schreckt Angst empor! Warum bohrt kein Freund
Mir vorn durch die Brust ein zweischneidig Schwert?
Ach, ich Unglückseliger!
In qualvolles Leid versenkt, schwind' ich hin.

Der Diener.
Wohl hat die Schuld von diesem, wie von jenem Tod,
Die Todte noch im Sterben dir auf's Haupt gewälzt.
Kreon.
Und welche Todesweise löst' ihr Leben auf?
Der Diener.
Sie senkte selbst in ihre Brust den Stahl, sobald
Sie hier des Sohnes tiefbeweintes Loos vernahm.

Vierte Strophe.

Chorus
Wisdom is provided as the chief part of happiness, and our dealings with the gods must be in no way unholy. The great words of arrogant men have to make repayment with great blows, and in old age teach wisdom.
