Where is the deed which backs that threatening word?
Creon
One of your two daughters I have myself just seized and sent away. The other I will drag off immediately.
Oedipus
Oh, no!
Creon
You will soon find more to weep about.
Oedipus
You have my child?
Creon
And I will have this one in no long time.
Oedipus
Oh! Strangers, what will you do? Will you betray me? Will you not drive the godless man from this land?
Chorus
Depart, stranger! Quick!
Your present deed is not just, nor the deed which you have done.
CreonTo his attendants.
It is time for you to drag this girl off against her will, if she will not go freely.
Antigone
Wretched that I am! Where can I flee? Where find help from gods or men?
Chorus
What are you doing, stranger?
Creon
I will not touch this man, but her who is mine.
Oedipus
Lords of the land!
Chorus
Stranger, you are acting unjustly.
Creon
Justly.
Chorus
How?
Creon
I take my own.
He lays his hand on Antigone.
Oedipus
Oh, city !
Chorus
What are you doing, stranger? Release her!
Your strength and ours will soon come to the test.
Creon
Stand back!
Chorus
Not while this is your purpose.
Creon
There will be war with Thebes for you, if you harm me.
Oedipus
Did I not say so?
Chorus
Unhand the girl at once!
Creon
Do not make commands where you are not the master.
Chorus
Let go, I tell you!
CreonTo his guards, who seize Antigone.
And I tell you: be off!
Chorus
Help, men of Colonus, bring help! The city, our city, is attacked by force! Come to our aid!
