Jocasta: Antigone, my daughter, come forth before the palace; this
heaven-sent crisis is no time for thee to be dancing or amusing thyself
with girlish pursuits. But thou and thy mother must prevent two gallant
youths, thy own brothers, from plunging into death and falling by
each other's hand.

Antigone: Mother mine, what new terror art thou proclaiming to thy
dear ones before the palace?

Jocasta: Daughter, thy brothers are in danger of their life.

Antigone: What mean'st thou?

Jocasta: They have resolved on single combat.

Antigone: O horror! what hast thou to tell, mother?

Jocasta: No welcome news; follow me.
