weh, weh! Der Menschen sonst keiner nimmt
Auf sich diese Schuld, es ist meine Schuld.
Denn ich war es nur, ich Elender gab,
Ia ich, dir den Tod! O kommt, Diener, kommt,
Führt mich geschwind hinweg, führt mich von hinnen fort!
1285
Denn nichts Andres bin ich mehr, als ein Nichts.
Der Chor.
Gewinn verlangst du, wenn's Gewinn im Leide gibt;
Wohl ist's am besten, währt das Leid nur kurze Zeit.

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.

1314. mvp-comment-731-1 κἀπελύσατο The aorist has a distinctly middle force, different from ἀπελύθης above, l. 1268 . 'How did she effect her own release in bloody death? This verse may possibly have been spoken by the chorus. It somewhat breaks the flow of Creon's passion.
