 | | In order to avenge herself, the goddess ordered Amor to inspire Psyche with a love for the most con temptible of all men: but Amor was so stricken with her beauty that he himself fell in love with her. |
 | | But her jealous sisters made her believe that in the darkness of night she was embracing some hideous monster, and accordingly once, while Amor was asleep, she approached him with a lamp, and, to her amazement, she beheld the most handsome and lovely of the gods. |
 | | Psyche's peace was now gone all at once, and after having attempted in vain to throw herself into a river, she wandered about from temple to temple, inquiring- after her beloved, and at length came to the palace of Venus. |
