Antigone: Nathless the realms below these rites require.

Creon: Not that the base should fare as do the brave.

Antigone: Who knows if this world's crimes are virtues there?

Creon: Not even death can make a foe a friend.

Antigone: My nature is for mutual love, not hate.

Creon: Die then, and love the dead if thou must;
No woman shall be the master while I live.
[Enter Ismene]

Chorus: Lo from out the palace gate,
Weeping o'er her sister's fate,
Comes Ismene; see her brow,
Once serene, beclouded now,
See her beauteous face o'erspread
With a flush of angry red.
