Ismene: At least let no man know of thine intent,
But keep it close and secret, as will I.

Antigone: O tell it, sister; I shall hate thee more
If thou proclaim it not to all the town.

Ismene: Thou hast a fiery soul for numbing work.

Antigone: I pleasure those whom I would liefest please.

Ismene: If thou succeed; but thou art doomed to fail.

Antigone: When strength shall fail me, yes, but not before.

Ismene: But, if the venture's hopeless, why essay?
