Ion: A woman and a god! Say not so, stranger.

Creusa: She bore a son: her father knew it not.

Ion: Not so: a mortal's baseness he disdains.

Creusa: This she affirms; and this, poor wretch, she suffer'd.

Ion: What follow'd, if she knew the god's embrace?

Creusa: The child, which hence had birth, she straight exposed.

Ion: This exposed child, where is he? doth he live?

Creusa: This no one knows; this wish I to inquire.

Ion: If not alive, how probably destroyed?
