Why, one would almost think Pygmalion,
By some strange means, had brought the thing to life,
So marvelous her likeness to that stone!
Chry. (aside.) A very good idea, and one that I
May well improve upon. It’s rather rash,
But desperate ills need desperate remedies.
Now for a good one. Daphne, calm yourself.
You know the statue that we spoke of? Well,
The gods have worked a miracle on it,
And it has come to life. Behold it here!
