On Three Bacchantes

She with a thyrsus Heliconias
Is called, Xantippe follows, and behind
Them both is Glauca; down the mountain-pass
Dancing they come; their wide-flung tresses float
In streaming waves upon the wanton wind.
Dithyrambs they sing,
And to Bacchus bring
Ivy, grape clusters, and a fatted goat.
