And Psyche’s airy service, as she bade,
Perform’d its magic office, and display’d
The riches of the palace where she reign’d.

And through the perfumed chambers they were led,
And bathed therein; and after, set to sup,
Were upon dreamlike delicacies fed,
And wine more precious than its golden cup.
Till seeing nothing lack’d and naught was theirs,
Their happiness fell from them unawares,
