Chorus:
chanting
Now, when it stands beside thee! for its power
May, with a changing gust of milder mood,
Temper the blast that bloweth wild and rude
And frenzied, in this hour!

Eteocles: Ay, kindled by the curse of Oedipus-
All too prophetic, out of dreamland came
The vision, meting out our sire's estate!

Leader of the Chorus: Heed women's voices, though thou love them not!

Eteocles: Say aught that may avail, but stint thy words.

Leader: Go not thou forth to guard the seventh gate!

Eteocles: Words shall not blunt the edge of my resolve.

Leader: Yet the god loves to let the weak prevail.
