Ion: Mark the tempestuous thunder's flaming bolt
Launch'd by the hand of Jove.

Chorus: The furious Mimas
Here blazes in the volley'd fires: and there
Another earth-born monster falls beneath
The wand of Bacchus wreathed with ivy round,
No martial spear. But, as 'tis thine to tend
This temple, let me ask thee, is it lawful,
Leaving our sandals, its interior parts
To visit?

Ion: Strangers, this is not permitted.

Chorus: Yet may we make inquiries of thee?

Ion: Speak;
What wouldst thou know?
