Et Venus in uinis, ignis in igne fuit.'
Only a few lines above (l. 232), Bacchus occurs, and there is a reference to wine, throughout the context. Cf. the Romaunt of the Rose, l. 4925:—
'For Youthe set man in al folye ...
In leccherye and in outrage.'
Cf. note to l. 65.
60. Alluding to a proverbial phrase, occurring in Horace, Sat. ii. 3. 321, viz. 'oleum adde camino'; and elsewhere.
65. This probably refers to the same passage in Ovid as is mentioned in the note to l. 59. For we there find (l. 229):—
'Dant etiam positis aditum conuiuia mensis;
Est aliquid, praeter uina, quod inde petas ...
Vina parant animos, faciuntque caloribus aptos'; &c.
