Shall we bring levers? Or shall I draw them up with my hands,

putting a shoulder or arm under the mountain-tops?

Dionysus

But don’t destroy the seats of the Nymphs and the places where Pan plays his pipes.

Pentheus

Well said. The women are not to be taken by force; I will hide in the pines.

Dionysus

You will hide yourself as you should be hidden, coming as a crafty spy on the Maenads.
