I would say that the lines are:
"<span>By Zeus I swear, except ye find and bring
Before my presence here the very man
Who carried out this lawless burial,
Death for your punishment shall not suffice.

Hanged on a cross, alive ye first shall make
Confession of this outrage. This will teach you
What practices are like to serve your turn."

Creon not only forbids </span><span>Polyneices's burial, but reinforces this law (as well as his own legal authority) by taking a vow to severely punish anyone who has dared to break his law. Furthermore, he backs his position up with Zeus, to whom he vows. </span>
