Ismene: O sister, scorn me not, let me but share
Thy work of piety, and with thee die.

Antigone: Claim not a work in which thou hadst no hand;
One death sufficeth. Wherefore should'st thou die?

Ismene: What would life profit me bereft of thee?

Antigone: Ask Creon, he's thy kinsman and best friend.

Ismene: Why taunt me? Find'st thou pleasure in these gibes?

Antigone: 'Tis a sad mockery, if indeed I mock.

Ismene: O say if I can help thee even now.
