(Processional Chant)
Thou wert smitten, in smiting,
Thou didst slay, and wert slain—
975
By the spear of each other
Ye lie on the plain,
And ruthless the deed that ye wrought was, and ruthless the death of the twain!
Take voice, O my sorrow!
Flow tear upon tear—
980
Lay the slain by the slayer,
Made one on the bier!
Our soul in distraction is lost, and we mourn o'er the prey of the spear!
Ah, woe for your ending,
Unbrotherly wrought!
985
And woe for the issue,
The fray that ye fought,
The doom of a mutual slaughter whereby to the grave ye are brought!
Ah, twofold the sorrow—
The heard and the seen!
990
And double the tide
Of our tears and our teen,
As we stand by our brothers in death and wail for the love that has been!
O grievous the fate
That attends upon wrong!
995
Stern ghost of our sire,
Thy vengeance is long!
Dark Fury of hell and of death, the hands of thy kingdom are strong!
O dark were the sorrows
That exile hath known!
1000
He slew, but returned not
Alive to his own!
He struck down a brother, but fell, in the moment of triumph hewn down!
O lineage accurst,
O doom and despair!
1005
Alas, for their quarrel,
The brothers that were!
And woe! for their pitiful end, who once were our love and our care!
O grievous the fate
That attends upon wrong!
1010
Stern ghost of our sire,
Thy vengeance is long!
Dark Fury of hell and of death, the hands of thy kingdom are strong!

θρῆνος der Antigone und Ismene. Antigone steht an der Leiche des Polynikes, Ismene an der des Eteokles. Der Gesang besteht aus vier Teilen; im ersten und dritten entspricht immer die Partie der Ismene der Partie der Antigone, im zweiten Teile besteht außer dieser Responsion noch die Responsion eines größeren Strophen- paares, das mit einem Ephymnion der beiden Schwestern schließt; im letzten Teile entsprechen sich zwei Verse, die wieder von Antigone und Ismene gemeinsam gesungen werden, und zwei Verse, von denen der eine der Antigone, der andere der Ismene gehört. Eine ähnliche Gestalt der Responsion findet sich nur noch Eur. Androm. 1197 ff.
