PEN. And what is the next point of my equipment?
BAC. A garment down to your feet; and you shall have a turban on your head.
PEN. Shall you put any thing else on me besides this?
BAC. A thyrsus in your hand, and the dappled hide of a deer.
PEN. I can not wear a woman's dress.
BAC. But you will shed blood if you join battle with the Bacchæ.
PEN. True; we must first go and see.
BAC. That is wiser at least than to hunt evils with evils.
PEN. And how shall I go through the city escaping the notice of the Cadmeans?
BAC. We will go by deserted roads, and I will guide you.
