Cupīdō et Psȳchē III

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

Servāta ā Zephyrō, in rēgiam iī. Nēmō ibi erat, sed tōta rēgia dīvitiīs ōrnāta est! Vōcēs invīsibilium - mīrābile dictū! - loquēbantur mē esse dominam rēgiae, quae domus meō virō novō erat. Ego enim nūpta est! 

Meus vir nocte ad mē vēnit, sed eum nōn vidēre potuī. Ille mihi dīxit: “Tē amō, cārissima Psȳchē, sed numquam vultum meum spectābis.” Ille mihi imperāvit nē lūmen accenderem. Cum incerta essem, tamen meō virō pāruī.
