Who is she? If she would but help me in the task, how happy should I be!
Creusa
Tis she on whose account I have preceded my husband hither.
Ion
What are thy wishes? be sure I will serve thee, lady.
Creusa
I would fain obtain a secret answer from Apollos oracle.
Ion
Name it, then; the rest will I undertake for thee.
Creusa
Hear, then, this story. Yet am I ashamed.
Ion
Thus wilt thou accomplish naught, for shame is a goddess slow to act.
Creusa
A friend of mine asserts that Phoebus lay with her.
Ion
Phoebus with a mortal woman? Stranger lady, say not so.
Creusa
Yea, and she bare the god a child without her fathers knowledge.
