I join your prayer that echoes my desire.

CHORUS
O pray not, prayers are idle; from the doom
Of fate for mortals refuge is there none.

CREON
(Ant. 4)
Away with me, a worthless wretch who slew
Unwitting thee, my son, thy mother too.
Whither to turn I know now; every way

Leads but astray,
And on my head I feel the heavy weight

Of crushing Fate.

CHORUS

Of happiness the chiefest part

Is a wise heart:
And to defraud the gods in aught

With peril's fraught.
Swelling words of high-flown might
Mightily the gods do smite.
Chastisement for errors past
Wisdom brings to age at last.
