Creon: See then ye execute what I ordain.

Chorus: On younger shoulders lay this grievous charge.

Creon: Fear not, I've posted guards to watch the corpse.

Chorus: What further duty would'st thou lay on us?

Creon: Not to connive at disobedience.

Chorus: No man is mad enough to court his death.

Creon: The penalty _is_ death: yet hope of gain
Hath lured men to their ruin oftentimes.
[Enter Guard]
