Liber VII, Cap. III, v. 1-7
- I was the priest of Ammon-Ra in the temple of Ammon-Ra at Thebai.
- But Bacchus came singing with his troops of vine-clad girls, of girls in dark mantles; and Bacchus in the midst like a fawn!
- God! how I ran out in my rage and scattered the chorus!
- But in my temple stood Bacchus as the priest of Ammon-Ra.
- Therefore I went wildly with the girls into Abyssinia; and there we abode and rejoiced.
- Exceedingly; yea, in good sooth!
- I will eat the ripe and the unripe fruit for the glory of Bacchus.
