"Evoë" phrensying loud, with heads at "Evoë" rolling.

Brandisht some of the maids their thyrsi sheathèd of spear-point,

Some snatcht limbs and joints of sturlings rended to pieces,

These girt necks and waists with writhing bodies of vipers,

Those wi' the gear enwombed in crates dark orgies ordainèd—

260

Orgies that ears prophane must vainly lust for o'er hearing—

Others with palms on high smote hurried strokes on the cymbal,

Or from the polisht brass woke thin-toned tinkling music,

While from the many there boomed and blared hoarse blast of the horn-trump,
