Rally, neighbors to my call! See, the foe is at the gate! Rally to defend the State. ANTIGONE Ah, woe is me, they drag me hence, O friends. OEDIPUS Where art thou, daughter? ANTIGONE Haled along by force. OEDIPUS Thy hands, my child! ANTIGONE They will not let me, father. CREON Away with her! OEDIPUS Ah, woe is me, ah woe! CREON So those two crutches shall no longer serve thee For further roaming. Since it pleaseth thee To triumph o'er thy country and thy friends Who mandate, though a prince, I here discharge, Enjoy thy triumph; soon or late thou'lt find Thou art an enemy to thyself, both now And in time past, when in despite of friends Thou gav'st the rein to passion, still thy bane. CHORUS Hold there, sir stranger! CREON Hands off, have a care. CHORUS Restore the maidens, else thou goest not. CREON |
