Can someone literally translate this: pater tiberis (personification of the river) alveum in quo positi erant ad locum siccum portavit, lupa eos nutrivit, et pastor benignus et sua uxor eos eduxerunt.

the answer is: apostrophe and allusion.

apostrophe refers to a poetic technique that is used to address an absent individual or an abstract idea/being. allusion on the other hand is a poetic technique that being done by making an indirect reference to other person with a high level of significance (could be historically or culturally significant)
