At last one said ‘Psyche, since not alone

Thou livest here in joy, as well we wot,

Who is the man who should these wonders own,

Or god, I say, and still appeareth not?

What is his name? What rank and guise hath he,

Whom winds and spirits serve, who honoureth thee

Above all others in thy blissful lot?’
