EL MENSAJERO
Yo mismo estoy asombrado; pero abrigo la esperanza de que, enterada ella de la muerte del hijo, no creerá que deba llorarlo por las calles de la ciudad; sino que, yéndose a casa, anunciará a las esclavas la desgracia de la familia para que lo lloren; porque no está tan falta de juicio que cometa una atrocidad.

CR
Enter CREON with the body of HAEMON . 1261
O error of my insensate soul,
Stubborn, and deadly in the fateful end!
O ye who now behold
Slayer and slain of the same kindred blood!
O bitter consequence of seeming-wise decree!
1265
Alas, my son!
Strange to the world wert thou, and strange the fate
That took thee off, that slew thee; woe is me!
Not for thy rashness, but my folly. Ah me!

Ich hab’s gelernet in Furcht. An meinem Haupt aber

Io! ihr Mühen der Menschen! ihr Mühsamen !

Messenger
1257 Well, I will enter the house, and learn whether indeed she is not hiding some repressed purpose in the depths of a passionate heart. Yea, thou sayest well: excess of silence, too, may have a perilous meaning. Exit MESSENGER. Enter CREON, on the spectators’ left, with attendants, carrying the shrouded body of HAEMON on a bier.

1258. mvp-comment-708-1 μνῆμ᾽ ἐπίσημον A monument with evident tokens. The blood-stained corpse of Haemon was, as it were, a monument, on which was inscribed the record of the calamitous error of Creon. The metres of the concluding κομμός are as follows.
