O Worthy Bull, son of the Dragon,
you who won your Olympian throne
through the valor, endurance, and power
that you displayed, heroic Dionysos I pray,
may I never fail to think brave thoughts,
to speak brave words, and to do brave deeds,
especially in defense of my land, my people,
and my traditions; O great Leader
of Gods and spirits and men and beasts,
may I one day prove worthy
to be counted among your Furious Host.
