Creusa: Not much: as anxious thoughts 'gan rise, thou'rt come.

But, tell me, from Trophonius what reply
Bearest thou; what means whence offspring may arise?

Xuthus: Unmeet he held it to anticipate
The answer of the god: one thing he told me.
That childless I should not return, nor thou,
Home from the oracle.

Creusa: Goddess revered,
Mother of Phoebus, be our coming hither
In lucky hour; and our connubial bed
Be by thy son made happier than before!

Xuthus: It shall be so. But who is president here?

Ion: Without, that charge is mine; within, devolved
On others, stranger, seated near the tripod;
The chiefs of Delphi these, chosen by lot.
