Creusa: I charge thee, kill me not, in my own right,
And in the god's, whose suppliant here I stand.

Ion: What right hast thou to plead Apollo's name?

Creusa: My person hallow'd to the god I offer.

Ion: Yet wouldst thou poison one that is the god's.

Creusa: Thou wast no more Apollo's, but thy father's.

Ion: I have been, of a father's wealth I speak.

Creusa: And now I am: thou hast that claim no more.

Ion: But thou art impious: pious were my deeds.

Creusa: As hostile to my house, I would have kill'd thee.
