Antigone
Shall be my care, though ruin, woe, and death
Await it through my father's ruthless curse.
To you be Jove propitious, if you pay
These rites to me when dead, for ne'er again
Shall I alive your tender care receive.
1440
Nay, hold me not, but take my last farewell,
1440
For living never shall you see me more..
1440
Wretched Antigone!
