  1. By the spear you died—
Antigone
  1. Your deed made you wretched.
Ismene
  1. You suffering made you wretched.
Antigone
  1. Let the lament come.
Ismene
  1. Let the tears come.
Antigone
  1. You are laid out for mourning—
Ismene
  1. Though you did the killing.
Antigone
  1. Ah me!
Ismene
  1. Ah me!
Antigone
  1. My heart is mad with wailing.
Ismene
  1. My heart groans within me.
Antigone
  1. Ah, the grief, brother all-lamentable.
Ismene
  1. And you also, brother all-wretched.
