Charles Heron Wall translation
Lyc. (to Psyche). Ah! Madam!
Psy. What is the matter?
Lyc. The king …
Psy. What?
Lyc. Requests your presence.
Psy. What am I to augur from your agitation?
Lyc. You will know it only too soon.
Psy. Alas! how you excite my fears about the king!
Lyc. Fear only for yourself; you are the one to be pitied.
Psy. I can praise heaven, and be no longer anxious, when I know that I am the only one in danger. But tell me, Lycas, what alarms you.
Lyc. Suffer me, Madam, to obey him who sent me hither; and I beg of you, learn from his lips what troubles me thus.
Psy. Let us go and hear what this is which makes them fear that my courage will fail me.
