Semi-Chorus
But their enmity is terminated: and in the reeking earth is their life-blood mingled, and truly are they of the same blood. A bitter arbiter of strife is the stranger from beyond the sea, the whetted steel that bounded forth from the fire; and bitter is the horrible distributer of their substance, Mars, who bath brought the curse of their father truly to its consummation.

2d SEMICHORUS.
Far beyond each sorrowing dame,
1040
Each that bears a mother's name,
Each that groans upon the earth,
Hapless she that gave them birth.
She, to share her bed and throne,
As an husband took her son:
1045
These she bore, and this their fate,
Brother slain by brother's hate.
ISMENE.
Brothers they, by birth allied,
Spread the mutual carnage wide:
Unfriendly each to other's life,
1050
In the madding rage of strife.
But their hatred is no more,
On the earth, all stain'd with gore,
Their stream of life unites, and shows
From one common source it rose.
1055
CHORUS.
Umpire of the strife of kings,
Forth the barbarous stranger springs:
Ruthless issuing from the flame
O'er the seas the keen steel came.
Ruthless came the realm to share,
1060
Big with mischief, wasting war,
And accurs'd, without remorse,
Executes a father's curse.
ANTIGONE.

Yea, from one seed they sprang, and by one fate
Their heritage is desolate,
The heart's division sundered claim from claim,
And, from their feud, death came!
Now is their hate allayed,
950
Now is their life-stream shed,
Ensanguining the earth with crimson dye—
Lo, from one blood they sprang, and in one blood they lie!
A grievous arbiter was given the twain—
The stranger from the northern main,
955
The sharp, dividing sword,
Fresh from the forge and fire
The War-god treacherous gave ill award
And brought their father's curse to a fulfilment dire!

Zweiter Halbchor.
Der Haß ruht nun; in blut'ger Erde
Floß Beider Lebensblut
In Ein's, ganz sind sie Eines Blutes.
Ein strenger Kampfschlichter war der pontische,

Heißer Glut entstürmte Fremdling,
Der scharfe Stahl, streng des Erbes Theiler auch,
Der Schlachtengott, der im Zorn
Des Vaters Fluch grausenvoll bewährte.
