But unto Psyche, pondering o’er her doom

In tearful silence on her stony chair,

A Zephyr straying out of heaven’s wide room

Rush’d down, and gathering round her unaware

Fill’d with his breath her vesture and her veil;

And like a ship, that crowding all her sail

Leans to accompany the tranquil air,

She yielded, and was borne with swimming brain
