Attributes

Ears of corn are sacred to Ceres,

forests to the Fauns,

new grass to Chloris,

green laurels to Phoebus,

olive-trees to Minerva,

handsome pines to Cybele,

gentle rustlings to the Zephyrs,

sweet fruit to Pomona,

waters to the Nymphs,

and beautiful flowers to Flora;

but heart-ache and tears

are sacred to Aphrodite.
