Unser Gott, des Kroniden Sohn, freut sich festlicher Mahle,
Liebt den segenverleihenden, månnernährenden Frieden.
Bacchos spendet des Weines Wonne,
360
Jeden Gram zu vergessen, gleich dem Armen und Reichen aus,
Haßt ihn, welcher nicht sorgt, in Luft helle Tag', und die süße Nacht
Ohne Harm zu verleben.
Weis ist, welcher das Herz von den Ueberweisen sich ferne
Doch der Pobel, behaupt' ich frei,
365
hålt;
Das Schlechtre wählt er immer und vollbringt es.
Dionysos, gebunden von Sclaven des Pentheus herbeigeführt. Pentheus. Der Chor.
