Aristoph. Nub. 298. K Nymphs of the rain! Let us visit again The city by Pallas beloved, the home. The populous home, of choicest delight- . Where for the appointed secret rites, From year to year the mystic dome Duly unfolds its hallowed portals; And gifts are there to the powers divine, And many a statue and lofty shrine, And pomps for all the blessed immortal-. Banquet and wreathy sacrifice, Hallow each season as it flies; And ever at the voice of spring, Bacchus his mirthful grace renew-; Sweet choirs in strife melodious sing, And all the festive echoes ring With thunders of the scenic muse."
