    The theory of modular forms is used to evaluate four definite integrals involving rational products of \(\eta\)-functions. As an example, it is shown that \[ \int^{q}_{0}\frac{tx^{t-1}(x;x^ 5)_{\infty}^{5t}(x^ 4;x^ 5)_{\infty}^{5t}(x;x)^ 5_{\infty}}{(x^ 5;x^ 5)_{\infty}(x^ 2;x^ 5)_{\infty}^{5t}(x^ 3;x^ 5)_{\infty}^{5t}}dx=(\frac{5\lambda \sqrt{5}-11}{2})^ t, \] where t is any positive integer, q is a primitive m-th root of unity, and \(\lambda\) is the Legendre symbol \((\frac{m}{5})\).
