Antigone: No, save thyself; I grudge not thy escape.

Ismene: Is e'en this boon denied, to share thy lot?

Antigone: Yea, for thou chosed'st life, and I to die.

Ismene: Thou canst not say that I did not protest.

Antigone: Well, some approved thy wisdom, others mine.

Ismene: But now we stand convicted, both alike.

Antigone: Fear not; thou livest, I died long ago
Then when I gave my life to save the dead.

Creon: Both maids, methinks, are crazed. One suddenly
Has lost her wits, the other was born mad.
