Ion: Did I against thy country march in arms?

Creusa: And more; thou wouldst have fired Erechtheus' house.

Ion: What torch, what brands, what flames had I prepared?

Creusa: There wouldst thou fix, seizing my right by force.

Ion: The land which he possess'd, my father gave me.

Creusa: What claim hath there the race of Aeolus?

Ion: He was its guardian, not with words but arms.

Creusa: Its soldier then; an inmate, not its lord.

Ion: Wouldst thou, through fear of what might happen, kill me?
