Du mir von Anseh'n, außer daß dies Loos dich traf;)
Bleib' hier, o Fremdling, wo du mir zuerst erschienst,
Bis ich Kolonos' Bürgern, nicht dem Volk der Stadt, 1

Ob hier du bleiben, ob du wieder ziehen sollst.

Antigone
This way bent, behold
On a Sicilian steed, a woman comes.
Her face concealed by a Thessalian veil,
To shield her from the sun : am I deceived,
Or is it she? I know not what to think.
It is my sister, now she smiles upon me ;
It must, it can be none but my Ismene.

Chorus
Thy pleaded reason with great force, old man,
Commands respect; nor briefly is it urged, বাব
And it contents me well that on these things...
The rulers of the land for me decide.
