“We are so pious, we lovers. Discreetly we worship all powers,
Hoping for favor from each god and each goddess as well.
We are like you, ye victorious Romans, in this: for we offer
Gods of all peoples and tribes, over the whole world, a home
May the Egyptian, black and austere out of primeval basalt,
Or from the marble a Greek, form them charming and white…”
A favorite spot in Rome.
