Quod Midās deō Bacchō benignus fuerat, Bacchus rēgī dōnum dedit.

“Quicquid dēsīderās”, dīxit deus, “tibi dabō
“Quicquid dēsīderās”, dīxit deus, “tibi dabō.” Rēx igitur hōc modō rogat: “Quicquid corpore tangam, id in aurum mūtā, quaesō.”
5
Rēx laetissimus novum dōnum cupidē temptat
Rēx laetissimus novum dōnum cupidē temptat. Omnia manū eius tacta in aurum mūtantur.
6
Midās cibum dente avidō tangere temptāvit, sed dentēs dūrum aurum tetigērunt. Nūllum aquam bibere potest, nūllum cibum edere potest.
7
Midās, manibus ad caelum tentīs, hōc mod ōrat: `Da veniam, pater benigne, peccāvimus, sed remitte damnōsum dōnum.’
8
Bacchus benignus inquit:`Ī ad flūmen vīcīnum Sardibus et carpe viam in montēs usque ad ortum flūminis. Lavā caput corpusque.’
