Pentheus: You allude to my delicacy.

Bacchus: In the hands of your mother.

Pentheus: And wilt thou compel me to be effeminate?

Bacchus: Ay, with such effeminacy.

Pentheus: I lay mine hands to worthy things.

Bacchus: You are terrible, terrible: and you go to terrible sufferings; so that
you shall find a renown reaching to heaven. Spread out, O Agave, your
hands, and ye, her sister, daughters of Cadmus! I lead this young man to a
mighty contest; and the conqueror shall be I and Bacchus! The rest the
matter itself will show.
