Pentheus: I will sacrifice, making a great slaughter of the women, as they
deserve, in the glens of Cithaeron.

Bacchus: You will all fly, (and that will be shameful,) so as to yield your
brazen shields to the thyrsi of the Bacchae.

Pentheus: We are troubled with this impracticable stranger, who neither
suffering nor doing will be silent.

Bacchus: My friend, there is still opportunity to arrange these things well.

Pentheus: By doing what? being a slave to my slaves?

Bacchus: I will bring the women here without arms.

Pentheus: Alas! you are contriving some trick against me.

Bacchus: Of what sort, if I wish to save you by my contrivances?
