or of Libyan Gorgons. Let manifest justice go forth, let it go with sword in hand, slaying through the throat
this godless, lawless, unjust, earth-born offspring of Echion.

Chorus
Whoever with wicked mind and unjust rage regarding your rites, Bacchus, and those of your mother, comes with raving heart
and mad disposition violently to overcome by force what is invincibledeath is the discipline for his purposes, accepting no excuses when the affairs of the gods are concerned; to act like a mortalthis is a life that is free from pain. [*]
I do not envy wisdom, but rejoice in hunting it. But other things are great and manifest. Oh, for life to flow towards the good, to be pure and pious day and night, and to honor the gods,
