Ah, what further news is there for me?
Old Servant
Whether our master is in the same plight and shares thy misfortune, or thou art alone in thy misery.
774
Chorus
On him, old sir, Loxias hath bestowed a son,
and he is enjoying his good fortune apart from her.
Creusa
Herein hast thou declared a further evil crowning all, a grief for me to mourn.
Old Servant
The child of whom thou speakestis he some womans destined babe, or did the god declare the fate of one already born?
Chorus
A youth already born and grown to mans estate doth Phoebus give to him; for I was there myself.
Creusa
What sayest thou? nor tongue nor lip should speak the word thou tellest me.
Old Servant
And me. But declare more clearly how this oracle is finding its fulfilment, and say who is the child.
Chorus
Whomso thy husband first should meet as he issued from the shrine, him the god gave him for his son.
