Polyneices: Bewail me not.

Antigone: Who would not mourn
Thee, brother, hurrying to an open pit!

Polyneices: If I must die, I must.

Antigone: Nay, hear me plead.

Polyneices: It may not be; forbear.

Antigone: Then woe is me,
If I must lose thee.

Polyneices: Nay, that rests with fate,
Whether I live or die; but for you both
I pray to heaven ye may escape all ill;
For ye are blameless in the eyes of all.
[Exit Polyneices]
