Enter Dionysus
Dionysus
And so this tragedy is ended,
By the deaths of Aeschylus
And Nyssa the Bacchante too.
Desire was their undoing.
Mortals - beware!
The sting of Cupid's shaft
Brings desire rather than love.
Be careful what you seek,
Lest you find it!
Citizens of Athens,
I, Dionysus, say goodbye.
Dionysus exits, followed by the chorus
