  1. Ask Creon. Your concern is for him.
Ismene
  1. Why do you torture me like this, when it does not help you?
Antigone
  1. No, if I mock you, it is to my own pain that I do so.
Ismene
  1. Tell me, how can I help you, even now?
Antigone
  1. Save yourself. I do not grudge your escape.
Ismene
  1. Ah, misery! Will I fall short of sharing your fate?
Antigone
  1. Your choice was to live, it was mine to die.
