To Dionysus Bassareus Triennalis

Come, blessed Dionysus, various-nam'd,

Bull-fac'd, begot from Thunder, Bacchus fam'd:

Bassarian God, of universal might,

Whom swords, and blood, and sacred rage delight:

In heav'n rejoicing, mad, loud-sounding God,

Furious inspirer, bearer of the rod:

By Gods rever'd, who dwell'st with human kind,

Propitious come, with much-rejoicing mind.
