The priestess of Phoebus; I look oh her as my mother.
Creusa
Until thou earnest unto mans estate, what nurture hadst thou?
Ion
The altar fed me, and the bounty of each casual guest.
Creusa
Woe is thy mother, then, whoeer she was!
Ion
Maybe my birth was some poor womans wrong.
Creusa
Hast thou any store, for thy dress is costly enough?
Ion
The god I serve gives me these robes to wear.
Creusa
Wert thou never eager to inquire into thy birth?
Ion
Ah! yes, lady! but I have no clue at all to guide me.
Creusa
Alas! I know another woman who hath suffered as thy mother did.
