Asperget vos Deus cum omnibus sanctis suis ad vitam æternam.
Sex operantur aqua benedicta.
Cor mundat, Accidiam fugat, venalia tollit,
Auget opem, removetque hostem, phantasmata pellit."

Quotation from Juvenal (Vol. vii., pp. 166. 321.).—My copy of this poet being unfortunately without notes, I was not aware that there was authority for "abest" in this passage; but my argument still remains much the same, as regards quoters
having retained for their own convenience a reading which most editors have rejected. I observe that Gifford, in his translation, takes habes as the basis of his version in both the passages mentioned.
May I ask if it is from misquotation, or variation in the copies, that an even more hackneyed quotation is never given as I find it printed, Sat. 2. v. 83.: "Nemo repente venit turpissimus?"
