[58] Cuncti laetum, the order before Heins., seems to have little or no authority. ‘Laetum honorem:’ Aeneas means to say, Let our service be a cheerful one: the gods have done well in bringing us here, and are intending to do well to us hereafter. The word ‘laetus’ is rather a common one in connexion with sacrifices, e. g. 8. 267 (where “celebratus honos” is found), 279 (comp. ‘volentes’ ib. 275).
