Necdum sermonem Psyche finierat; illa vesanae libidinis et invidiae noxiae stimulis agitata, e re concinnato mendacio fallens maritum, quasi de morti parentum aliquid comperisset, statim navem ascendi! et ad illum scopulum protinus pergit, et quamvis alio flante vento, caeca spe tamen inhians, ‘Accipe me’ dicens ‘Cupido, dignam te coniugem et tu, Zephyre,
[p. 240]

Nec vindictae sequentis poena tardavit nam Psyche rursus errabundo gradu pervenit ad civitatem aliam, in qua pari modo soror morabatur alia. Nec setius et ipsa fallacie germanitatis inducta, et in sororis sceleratas nuptias aemula, festinavit ad scopulum inque simile mortis exitium cecidit. ’
