The first ray of light falls on the bed discovers its secret. There she sees the sweetest and most docile of monsters; Cupid himself, the comliest of the gods, lying clothed in all his beauty.
She sees those radiant locks, ambrosia-scented, the milk-white neck, the damask cheek over which wander those glorious curls whose brilliancy makes the lamps light tremble. His wings, sparkling with dew and gleaming with the whiteness of lily, are folded at his shoulders, their delicate points moving gently with the wind. The rest of his body smooth and clear, and such that Venus had no need to blush for having borne him.
Curiosity seizes on Psyche; she touches and wonders at her husband's weapons. She draws an arrow out of the quiver and tries the point with the tip of her thumb, but the trembling of her hand causes her to prick too deeply, and a few beads of rosy blood ooze out through the skin. Thus Psyche all unwittingly falls in love with Love and burns for him more and more.

A certain king and queen had three daughters. The charms of the two elder were more than common, but the beauty of the youngest was so wonderful that the poverty of language is unable to express its due praise. The fame of her beauty was so great that strangers from neighboring countries came in crowds to enjoy the sight, and looked on her with amazement, paying her that homage which is due only to Venus herself. In fact Venus found her altars deserted, while men turned their devotion to this young virgin. As she passed along, the people sang her praises, and strewed her way with chaplets and flowers.
