Pales (Pa´les). The goddess of shepherds and sheepfolds and protectress of flocks; her festivals were called by the Romans Palilia.
“Pomona loves the orchard,
And Liber loves the wine,
And Pales loves the straw-built shed,
Warm with the breath of kine.”
“Great Pales help, the pastoral rites I sing,
With humble duty mentioning each thing.”
