Short Prayer

Suitable for the start of drinking (Vergil, Aeneid 1.734, tr. H. Rushton Fairclough):

May Bacchus, giver of joy, be near ...

adsit laetitiae Bacchus dator ...

adsis 'alii' ap. Serv.

Servius on Vergil, Aeneid 1.734 (vol. I, p. 301 of Editio Harvardiana):

alii 'adsis' legunt, secundum quos Bacchus aut antiptosis est aut antiquus vocativus, ut (XII 192) socer arma Latinus habeto. bene autem addidit dator laetitiae, quia est et dator furoris.
