But since you wish to overcome your country and your friends, whose will I, though tyrant as well, am here discharging, then I wish you victory. For in time, I am sure, you will come to recognize all this, that now too as in time past, it is you who have done yourself no good, by indulging your anger despite your friends.
This has always been your ruin.
Chorus
Stop there, stranger!
Creon
Hands off, I say!
Chorus
I will not let go, unless you give back the maidens.
Creon
Then you will soon give the city a more valuable prize, for I will lay hands on more than those two girls.
Chorus
What! What do you intend?
Creon
This man here will be my captive.
Chorus
A valiant threat!
Creon
Straightaway it will be done.
Chorus
Indeed, unless the ruler of this realm prevents you.
