Tutor: Never, my daughter, can I sate my eyes
With looking on thy face: astonishment
Bears me beyond my senses. I had stemm'd
One tide of evils, when another flood
High-surging overwhelm'd me from the words
Which thou hast utter'd, from the present ills
To an ill train of other woes transferr'd.
What say'st thou? Of what charge dost thou implead
The god? What son hast thou brought forth? Where placed him

A feast for vultures? Tell me all again.

Creusa: Though I must blush, old man, yet I will speak.

Tutor: I mourn with generous grief at a friend's woes.

Creusa: Hear then: the northward-pointing cave thou knowest,

And the Cecropian rocks, which we call Macrai.

Tutor: Where stands a shrine to Pan, and altars nigh.
