Text:
CHORUS: You who lead the dance,
among the fire-breathing stars,
who guard the voices in the night,
child born of Zeus, oh my lord,
appear with your attendant Thyiads,
who dance in frenzy all night long,
for you their patron, Iacchus.

(English translation by Ian Johnston of Malaspina University-College, Nanaimo, BC, Canada)
