Leader of the Chorus: Yet in the temple, stranger, he remains.

Ion: But he comes forth; the sounding doors announce
His near approach; behold, our lord is here. (Xuthus enters from
the temple. He rushes to greet Ion.)

Xuthus: Health to my son! This first address is proper.

Ion: I have my health: be in thy senses thou,
And both are well.

Xuthus: O let me kiss thy hand,
And throw mine arms around thee.

Ion: Art thou, stranger,
Well in thy wits? or hath the god's displeasure
Bereft thee of thy reason?

Xuthus: Reason bids,
That which is dearest being found, to wish
A fond embrace.
