Ion: Does Phoebus, do his lightnings honour it?

Creusa: Honour! Why this? Would I had never seen it!

Ion: Why? Dost thou hate the place dear to the god?

Creusa: No: but for some base deed done in the cave.

Ion: But what Athenian, lady, wedded thee?

Creusa: Of Athens none, but one of foreign birth.

Ion: What is his name? Noble he needs must be.

Creusa: Xuthus, by Aeolus derived from Jove.

Ion: How weds a stranger an Athenian born?
