Forbid her any more for Eros’ wife.’

Then Aphrodite said ‘So let it be.’
And Psyche was brought in, with such a flush
Of joy upon her face, as there to see
Was fairer to love’s eye than beauty’s blush.
And then she drank the eternal wine, whose draught
Can Terror cease: which flesh hath never quafft,
Nor doth it flow from grape that mortals crush.
