Quote:

Praise be to Nero's Neptune. / The Titanic sails at dawn. / And everybody's shouting, / "Which side are you on?"

Nero was the Emperor of Rome from 54-68 AD; Neptune was the Roman god of the sea. Historically, Nero had more of an obsession with Apollo than Neptune, but Neptune certainly fits in better with the Titanic imagery. (The picture above is of the famous Neptune fountain in the Piazza della Signoria in Florence.)
