A modern poet thus alludes to some of the Roman gods:

“Pomona loves the orchard,

And Liber loves the vine,

And Pales loves the straw-built shed

Warm with the breath of kine;

And Venus loves the whisper

Of plighted youth and maid,

In April’s ivory moonlight,

Beneath the chestnut shade.”

—Macaulay, “Prophecy of Capys.”
