Child, to the halls of Aristaius fare:

Abide thou there.

I mourn thee, father!

Child, I mourn for thee;

And for thy sisters do I weep withal.

For Dionysus' tyrannous majesty

Most fearfully hath caused upon thine hall

This shame to fall.

In that his name in Thebes was held in scorn.

Farewell, my father.

Farewell, hapless one,

Daughter!—ah, hardly shalt thou reach such bourn!

O ye, to my sisters guide me,

My companions in banishment's misery.

O that afar I might hide me

Where accursèd Kithairon shall look not on me,
