Saevus at interea ferro post terga revinctas Antigonen viduamque Creon Adrastida leto admovet; ambae hilares et mortis amore superbae ensibus intentant iugulos regemque cruentum destituunt, cum dicta ferens Theseia Phegeus astitit.
But meanwhile cruel Creon brings Antigone and Adrastus widowed daughter on to death, their hands bound with steel behind their backs.  Both of good cheer and proud in their eagerness to die, they hold out their throats to the swords, disappointing the bloodthirsty king, when Phegeus bearing Theseus message stands in presence.
