Creusa: To ill this adds the deepest ill, a grief
For me to mourn.

Tutor: Born of some other woman
Is this child yet to come, or did the god
Declare one now in being?

Leader: One advanced
To manhood's prime he gave him: I was present.

Creusa: What hast thou said? Thy words denounce to me
Sorrows past speech, past utterance.

Tutor: And to me.

Creusa: How was this oracle accomplish'd? Tell me
With clearest circumstance: who is this youth?

Leader: Him as a son Apollo gave, whom first,
Departing from the god, thy lord should meet.
