CREON.
(To ANTIGONE.)
Thou, that dost stand with eyes bent on the ground,
Dost thou plead guilty or deny the fact?
ANTIGONE.
Deny I do not, but avow my deed.
CREON.
(To the GUARD.)
Thou standst acquitted of a heinous charge,
And mayest betake thee hence whither thou wilt.
(To ANTIGONE.)
But thou, answer, and briefly, didst thou know
The proclamation made against this act?
