Creusa: My misery, and the secret place alone.

Tutor: How durst thou in a cavern leave thy son?

Creusa: How? uttering many sad and plaintive words.

Tutor: Ah, cruel was thy deed, the god more cruel.

Creusa: Hadst thou but seen him stretch his little hands!

Tutor: Seeking the breast, or reaching to thine arms?

Creusa: To this, deprived of which he suffer'd wrong.

Tutor: And what induced thee to expose thy child?

Creusa: Hope that the god's kind care would save his son.
