For in his anger he has threatened that if I shall not keep my hands off him while he still masters his temper, I shall have cause to blame myself thereafter." So she spake, and the goddesses smiled and looked at each other. But Cypris again spoke, vexed at heart: "To others my sorrows are a jest; nor ought I to tell them to all; I know them too well myself.
Begin, ye Sicilian Muses, begin the dirge. All the gifts of the Muses, herdsman, have died with thee, the delightful kisses of maidens, the lips of boys; and woful round thy tomb the loves are weeping. But Cypris loves thee far more than the kiss wherewith she kissed the dying Adonis. Begin, ye Sicilian Muses, begin the dirge.
The blood brings forth the rose, the tears, the wind-flower. Woe, woe for Adonis, he hath perished; the lovely Adonis! No more in the oak-woods, Cypris, lament thy lord. It is no fair couch for Adonis, the lonely bed of leaves! Thine own bed, Cytherea, let him now possess, the dead Adonis. Ah, even in death he is beautiful, beautiful in death, as one that hath fallen on sleep.
For Cypris stirred in them a sweet desire, for the sake of Hephaestus of many counsels, in order that Lemnos might be again inhabited by men and not be ruined. Thereupon Aeson's son started to go to the royal home of Hypsipyle; and the rest went each his way as chance took them, all but Heracles; for he of his own will was left behind by the ship and a few chosen comrades with him.
No great fame he won when he gave a chorus of boys, but with a chorus of men he bore off the victory, for he knew what was fair and what was seemly. XIII For a statue of Aphrodite. This is Cypris, not she of the people; nay, venerate the goddess by her name the Heavenly Aphrodite.
"Marble, Parian marble!" muttered Paul. "O Cypris! Cytherea! Paphia!" "Be quiet, you donkey!" It really seemed as if the flame of the candle understood our appreciation and ministered specially to our admiration.
How well warranted are we therefore in identifying the latter with the former. Equally scanty is our knowledge of the developmental history of the Ostracoda. The development of Cypris has recently been observed by Claus: "The youngest stages are shell-bearing Nauplius-forms." The section of the Branchiopoda includes two groups differing even in their development, the Phyllopoda and the Cladocera.
Cyprides from the Upper Purbeck. a. Cypris gibbosa, E. Forbes. b. Cypris tuberculata, E. Forbes. c. The highest of the three divisions is purely fresh-water, the strata, about fifty feet in thickness, containing shells of the genera Paludina, Physa, Limnaea, Planorbis, Valvata, Cyclas, and Unio, with Cyprides and fish.
But the counsel of the baneful goddess Cypris was working out its accomplishment, who brought upon them soul destroying infatuation. For they hated their lawful wives, and, yielding to their own mad folly, drove them from their homes; and they took to their beds the captives of their spear, cruel ones.
As Venus she is a maid about to step for the first time upon the shores of Cypris, and her eyes are like violets, wet with dew that have not looked on the sun; her bright locks heavy with gold her maid has caught about her, and the pale anemones have kissed her breasts, and the scarlet weeds have kissed her on the mouth.
