Bacchus: Stay your foot; and substitute calm steps for anger.

Pentheus: How come you out, having escaped your chains?

Bacchus: Did I not say, or did you not hear, that some one would deliver me?

Pentheus: Who? for you are always introducing strange things.

Bacchus: He who produces the rich-clustering vine for mortals.

Pentheus: This is a fine reproach you charge on Bacchus; I order ye to close
every tower all round.

Bacchus: Why? do not Gods pass over walls too?

Pentheus: You are wise, wise at least in all save what you should be wise in.

Bacchus: In what I most ought, in that I was born wise; but first learn,
hearing his words who is come from the mountain to bring a message to you;
but we will await you, we will not fly.
