Ismene.
Yet, stricken heart, wherein, if this be so, Loosing or binding can I aught avail ? 40 Antigone.
See to it — wilt thou share the toil, the deed ?
ANTIGONE. 177 ISMENE.
What venture this ? Ah, what is thine intent ?
Antigone.
Say, wilt thou aid me to take up our dead ?
ISMENE.
Wouldst bury him ? — a thing to Thebes forbidden !
Antigone.
My brother and thine ? Yea ! — though thou will it not.
Traitress to him I never will be found.
ISMENE.
O desperate girl ! — when Kreon hath forbidden ?
...Antigone.
No right hath he to hold me from mine own.
ISMENE.
Woe's me ! Bethink thee, sister, how our father Abhorred hath perished and in evil fame, 50 Through his sin self-detected, who himself Stabbed both his eyes with his own murderous hand ; Then, too, his wife, his mother, — twain in one ! — With twinfed noose made havoc of her life : Thirdly, in one day have our brethren twain — Unhappy men ! — in mutual slaughter wrought Each one a kinsman's doom with brother-hands.
Now, we twain, left alone, — O think, what end Most awful waits us, if, in law's despite, We transgress princes' iiat and their rule.
