Hebt den Tanz an, feiert Bacchos,
Jubelt um Pentheus' Rachgeschick,
(ab.)
Der aus des Drachen Zähnen entsproß, der sich
1050
Hüllt' in Frauengewand, und den
Hohlstab zu gewiſſem Tode,
Den weinlaubigen, nahm,
Vom Stier, dem Gott, in seinen Untergang geführt. 1
Kadmos' bacchischer Chor,
1055
Der Siegeswonne hohes Lied vollendetet
Ihr in Thränen, in Leid!
Schön ist der Kampf, die Hand, in Blut
Triefend, zu legen an des eignen Sohnes Haupt!
