ANTIGONE<br />
ISMENE<br />
Is fain?<br />
ANTIGONE<br />
ISMENE<br />
Sayest thou?<br />
ANTIGONE<br />
My soul is fain--<br />
To see the earthy bed.<br />
Where our sire is laid.<br />
ISMENE<br />
Nay, thou can'st not, dost not see--<br />
ANTIGONE<br />
Sister, wherefore wroth with me?<br />
ISMENE<br />
Know'st not--beside--<br />
ANTIGONE<br />
ISMENE<br />
Tombless he died, none near.<br />
More must I hear?<br />
ANTIGONE<br />
Lead me thither; slay me there.<br />
ISMENE<br />
How shall I unhappy fare,<br />
Friendless, helpless, how drag on<br />
A life <strong>of</strong> misery alone?<br />
CHORUS<br />
(Ant. 2)<br />
Fear not, maids--<br />
ANTIGONE<br />
CHORUS<br />
Refuge hath been found.<br />
ANTIGONE<br />
Ah, whither flee?<br />
For me?<br />
CHORUS<br />
Where thou shalt be safe from harm.<br />
ANTIGONE<br />
I know it.<br />
