Adoring?

PENTHEUS
Wait! What garb wilt thou bestow
About me?

DIONYSUS
First a long tress dangling low
Beneath thy shoulders.

PENTHEUS
Aye, and next?

DIONYSUS
The same red
Robe, falling to thy feet; and on thine head
A snood.

PENTHEUS
And after? Hast thou aught beyond?

DIONYSUS
Surely; the dappled fawn-skin and the wand.

PENTHEUS (_after a struggle with himself_)
Enough! I cannot wear a robe and snood.

DIONYSUS
Wouldst liefer draw the sword and spill men's blood?
