[541-547] Ion 1143<br />

ION<br />

Did not the god inform thee?<br />

For this I ask'd not.<br />

XUTHUS<br />

Through my joy,<br />

ION<br />

Haply from the earth<br />

I sprung, my mother.<br />

Produces.<br />

XUTHUS<br />

No, the earth no sons<br />

ION<br />

How then am I thine?<br />

To Phoebus I appeal.<br />

XUTHUS<br />

I know not.<br />

ION<br />

Be this discourse<br />

Chang'd to some other.<br />

XUTHUS<br />

This delights me most.<br />

ION<br />

Hast thou e'er mounted an unlawful bed?<br />

In foolishness of youth.<br />

XUTHUS<br />

ION<br />

Was that before<br />

Thy marriage with the daughter of Erechtheus?<br />

Since never.<br />

The time agrees.<br />

XUTHUS<br />

ION<br />

Owe I then my birth to that?<br />

XUTHUS
