Answer:

<em>"CHORUS God of Thebes, lead thou the round. Bacchus, shaker of the ground! Let us end our revels here; Lo! Creon our new lord draws near, Crowned by this strange chance, our king. What, I marvel, pondering? . . . "</em>

Explanation:

This choir presents an order for the festivities to end. This means an order to the people for all the happiness, the joy, the celebration of the festivities, because Creon is coming. This shows Creon's relationship with his subjects, which is a bad relationship. The subjects are not happy, comfortable with Creons, they fear him and are saddened by his presence.
