komm, o komm,

Kreon.
Erschein' endlich mir, mein glorreichstes Loos,

Und führe mir herauf den endigenden Tag!
Nahe nur, gewünschtes Ziel,
Und laß keinen andern Tag mehr mich schau'n!

As Creon is being conducted into the house, the Chorus Leader speaks the closing verses.
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.
