Ion: Why, lady, this inexplicable grief?

Creusa: It matters not; my mind resumes its firmless:
I say no more; cease thy concern for me.

Ion: But say, who art thou? whence? what country boasts
Thy birth? and by what name may we address thee?

Creusa: Creusa is my name, drawn from Erechtheus
My high-born lineage; Athens gave me birth.
Illustrious is thy state; thy ancestry
So noble that I look with reverence on thee.

Creusa: Happy indeed is this, in nothing farther.

Ion: But tell me, is it true what fame has blazon'd?

Creusa: What wouldst thou ask? Stranger, I wish to know.
