THIRD INTERLUDE.
Entry of ballet, composed of four Cupids and four Zephyrs, twice interrupted by a dialogue sung by a Cupid and a Zephyr.
Love, Psyche.
Part I.
A Zephyr.
Ye gentle youth, follow
Love's sweet and tender glow;
In happy days and fair,
From passion's joys do not forbear.—
'Tis to deceive they tell you, aye,
You should avoid the wooing sigh,
And fear the pressing suit.—
'Tis now the time to learn
What fires within you burn!
They sing together.
All gentle hearts in turn
With love must glow;
And greater charms that burn
A greater debt will owe.
A Zephyr (alone).
A youthful heart and tender
At last must yield surrender.
