So führt mich hinweg, den unsel'gen Mann,
Der dir nicht mit Willen den Tod gab, o Sohn,
1300
Noch dir, Gattin! Weh! Ich weiß nicht, wohin
Ich schau'n soll zuerst. Es wankt Alles, wankt,
Was mir zu Händen, was über dem Haupte mir:
Auf mich brach das Schicksal graunvoll herein.
(Kreon wird abgeführt.)

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.

1342. mvp-comment-742-1 πρὸς πότερον ἴδω i. e. Whether at Haemon or Eurydice. The words that follow are suggested by the general notion of distraction which is here expressed. The words in L etc.
1342. mvp-comment-742-2 παῖ καὶ θῶ (= 'Which way also I shall order them'), are clearly a corruption of πᾷ κλιθῶ, which, however, was probably a gloss. For if πάντα γάρ is dropped instead, the asyndeton of λέχρια, κ.τ.λ., is very harsh.
