SCENE THE THIRD.
Creon, Hæmon, Guards.Hæm.
Before the hour assign'd, thou from the camp
Tidings shalt hear of me.
Cre.
Or ere that time
Hæmon will see his error, and repent it.
I might anticipate and thus defeat
Thy idle menaces: but I will give thee
166
By trusting to thy elevated heart,
Thy early virtues, which I fain would think
Are in thee, but suspended, not destroy'd.
Hæm.
Yes; I protest that what I shall perform
Shall not disgrace the virtues of my youth.
