Haemon: Think not that in my sight the maid shall die,
Or by my side; never shalt thou again
Behold my face hereafter. Go, consort
With friends who like a madman for their mate.
[Exit Haemon]

Chorus: Thy son has gone, my liege, in angry haste.
Fell is the wrath of youth beneath a smart.

Creon: Let him go vent his fury like a fiend:
These sisters twain he shall not save from death.

Chorus: Surely, thou meanest not to slay them both?

Creon: I stand corrected; only her who touched
The body.

Chorus: And what death is she to die?
