Bacchus was the greek god of wine and wine making. He's usually portrayed as a jolly, red-faced... drunk basically, surrounded by his many friends (wood nymphs -- but that's not really important)
Knowing that, the title and the first four lines seem to me to represent that the narrator is drunk or desperatly trying to become so, in order to drown his pain. He's actually talking to Bacchus as if he's his only friend.
