Creusa: Fix thy staff firm on this loose-rolling ground.

Tutor: That hath no eyes; and dim indeed my sight.

Creusa: Well hast thou said; on cheerful then, and faint not.

Tutor: I have the will, but o'er constraint no power.

Creusa: Ye females, on my richly-broider'd works
Faithful attendants, say, respecting children,
For which we came, what fortune hath my lord
Borne hence? if good, declare it: you shall find
That to no thankless masters you give joy.

Leader of the Chorus: O fortune!

Creusa: To thy speech this is a proem
Not tuned to happiness.
