Ion: For the earth's fruits consult you, or for children?

Creusa: Though wedded long, yet childless is our bed.

Ion: Hast thou ne'er borne a child, that thou hast none?

Creusa: My state devoid of children Phoebus knows.

Ion: Bless'd in all else, luckless in this alone.

Creusa: But who art thou? Bless'd I pronounce thy mother.

Ion: Call'd as I am the servant of the god.

Creusa: Presented by some state, or sold to this?

Ion: I know not aught save this, I am the god's.
