Bacchus: O barbarian women! have ye fallen to the ground thus stricken with
fear? Ye have felt, it seems, Bacchus shaking the house of Pentheus; but
lift up your bodies, and take courage, casting off fear from your flesh.

Chorus: O thou most mighty light to us of Evian Bacchic rites, how gladly do
I see thee, being before alone and desolate!

Bacchus: Ye came to despair, when I was sent in, as about to fall into the dark
prison of Pentheus.

Chorus: How not?--who was my guardian if you met with misfortune? but how
were you liberated, having met with an impious man?

Bacchus: I delivered myself easily without trouble.

Chorus: And did he not bind your hands in links of chains?
