Invocations,
Pleas, Poems, Prayers, Hymns and Other Homage to HER:
the Goddess named – Venus
She spake,
and as She turned away, Her roseate
neck
flashed bright.
From Her head Her
ambrosial tresses breathed
celestial
fragrance;
down to Her
feet fell Her raiment, and in Her step
She revealed a very Goddess.
Virgil. Aeneid.
