But Venus, the bright goddess, bearing gifts,
drew near in airy clouds; and when far off
she saw her son in a secluded valley,
withdrawn beside a cooling stream, then she
showed herself freely to him, saying this:
"You see, my son, these perfect offerings,
my husband's promised art; then do not doubt
but dare brave Turnus and the proud Laurentians
to battle." These were Cytherea's words. 
She sought her son's embraces, then set up
his glittering arms beneath a facing oak.

– Venus brings Aeneas divine weapons, from Book VIII of Virgil's Aeneid, translated by Allen Mandelbaum (1971)
