Chorus
I shiver with rapture; I soar on the wings of sudden joy! [695] O Pan, O Pan, appear to us, sea-rover, from the stony ridge of snow-beaten Cyllene. King, dancemaker for the gods, come, so that joining with us you may set on the Nysian and the Cnosian steps, [700] your self-taught dances. Now I want to dance. And may Apollo, lord of Delos, step over the Icarian sea [705] and join me in his divine form, in eternal benevolence!
