/ Where wine is not, no mirth the banquet knows: / Where wine is not, the dance all joyless goes. / The man, oppressed with cares, who tastes the bowl, / Shall shake the weight of sorrow from his soul.
/ Bacchus, on the birth of the vine, predicting its benefits: / in the twelfth book of the Dionysiaca of Nonnus.
