Medea: Pray tell me, hast thou till now dragged on a childless life?

Aegeus: I have no child owing to the visitation of some god.

Medea: Hast thou a wife, or hast thou never known the married state?

Aegeus: I have a wife joined to me in wedlock's bond.

Medea: What said Phoebus to thee as to children?

Aegeus: Words too subtle for man to comprehend.

Medea: Surely I may learn the god's answer?

Aegeus: Most assuredly, for it is just thy subtle wit it needs.

Medea: What said the god? speak, if I may hear it.
