Cupīdō et Psȳchē II

(adapted from the work of Pitt Classics student Sarah Street & Apuleius’s Metamorphoses)

Cum multōs annōs nōn uxor fierem, mea familia cōgitāvit: “Psȳchē est puella cui nēmō nūbere velit!” Dēnique meus pater dē mē ōrāculum rogāvit. Ōrāculum respondit mē nūptūram esse - mōnstrō! Metuēns mē, mea familia mihi nūptiās dedit sed - trīste dictū! - etiam fūnus fuit. Pompam domō ad lītus secūta sum, et magnopere timēbam. Eō diē, ē rūpe iacta sum, sed nōn cecidī! Zephyrus mē ad pulcherrimam rēgiam leviter tulit.
