Creon: Woman, who like a viper unperceived
Didst harbor in my house and drain my blood,
Two plagues I nurtured blindly, so it proved,
To sap my throne. Say, didst thou too abet
This crime, or dost abjure all privity?

Ismene: I did the deed, if she will have it so,
And with my sister claim to share the guilt.

Antigone: That were unjust. Thou would'st not act with me
At first, and I refused thy partnership.

Ismene: But now thy bark is stranded, I am bold
To claim my share as partner in the loss.

Antigone: Who did the deed the under-world knows well:
A friend in word is never friend of mine.
