"Where the milky region is set in a tranquil heaven, lay kindly Venus in her bower, whence night had but lately fled, faint in the rough embrace of her Getic lord [Mars]. About the posts and pillows of her couch swarm a troop of tender Amores."
Statius, Silvae 1.2.51

Your Statius quote 'could' have been the ALT text for this one, though who would believe that Ares isn't just fondling Aphrodite's tit.
