I meddle not with him, but her who is mine.<br />

O princes <strong>of</strong> the land!<br />

Nay, right.<br />
CHORUS<br />
CREON<br />
OEDIPUS<br />
Help, Athens!<br />
How right?<br />
Sir, thou dost wrong.<br />
I take but what is mine.<br />
CHORUS<br />
What means this, sirrah? quick unhand her, or<br />
We'll fight it out.<br />
CREON<br />
CHORUS<br />
Back!<br />
Not till thou forbear.<br />
CREON<br />
'Tis war with <strong>The</strong>bes if I am touched or harmed.<br />
OEDIPUS<br />
Did I not warn thee?<br />
CHORUS<br />
Quick, unhand the maid!<br />

Command your minions; I am not your slave.<br />

CREON (to the guard)<br />
And O bid thee march!<br />

To the rescue, one and all!<br />
Rally, neighbors to my call!<br />
See, the foe is at the gate!<br />
Rally to defend the State.<br />

Ah, woe is me, they drag me hence, O friends.
