Father Bacchus, parent of all souls provided with reason,
be it the souls of the sky Gods, or the Daemons’,
or ours, after Poseidon the lord,
you who are the cause of the movement led by the love for what is good
and by the ambition to what is best,
allow us, every time we leave the good
and divine acting, with unreasonable mind,
to be immediately brought back through reason
and not to act like fools for long regarding the good things around us.
George Gemistos Plethon
