αἱ Νύμφαι τὸν Βάκχον, ὅτ᾽ ἐκ πυρὸς ἥλαθ᾽ ὁ κοῦρος,
νίψαν ὑπὲρ τέφρης ἄρτι κυλιόμενον.
τοὔνεκα σὺν Νύμφαις Βρόμιος φίλος: ἢν δέ νιν εἴργῃς
μίσγεσθαι, δέξῃ πῦρ ἔτι καιόμενον.

The Nymphs washed Bacchus when he leapt from
the fire above the ashes he had just been rolling in.¹
Therefore Bacchus is thy friend when united with
the Nymphs, but if thou preventest their union thou
shalt take to thee a still burning fire.
