"It's a beautiful creature, absolutely faultless, and the priest must slay it at once in Honor of the gracious goddess. I will come myself, as soon as everything is ready here; and, after such a gift, foam-born Cypris will surely grant my petition. Hide the little treasure carefully under your robe, that no one may see it." "It struggles and squeals when I carry it," replied the girl.
She hath lost her lovely lord, with him she hath lost her sacred beauty. Fair was the form of Cypris, while Adonis was living, but her beauty has died with Adonis! Woe, woe for Cypris, the mountains all are saying, and the oak-trees answer, Woe for Adonis. And the rivers bewail the sorrows of Aphrodite, and the wells are weeping Adonis on the mountains.
"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.
When thou hast turned yonder lane, goatherd, where the oak-trees are, thou wilt find an image of fig-tree wood, newly carven; three-legged it is, the bark still covers it, and it is earless withal, yet meet for the arts of Cypris. A right holy precinct runs round it, and a ceaseless stream that falleth from the rocks on every side is green with laurels, and myrtles, and fragrant cypress.
And Cypris made her heart faint, and in her confusion she could scarcely gather her spirit back to her.
What Aphrodite Cypris does in the Adonis, that Urania does in the Adonais. The resemblances are exceedingly close, in substance and in detail: the divergences are only such as the altered conditions naturally dictate. The Cyprian Aphrodite is the bride of Adonis, and as such she bewails him: the Uranian Aphrodite is the mother of Adonais, and she laments him accordingly.

Come, then, Leander, at the bidding of Cypris; come, and fear nothing!" But he feared very much, for he had seen the operas of Don Giovanni and Zampa, and knew that any familiarity with statuary was likely to have unpleasant consequences. He merely strengthened his defences with a chair. "You must excuse me, mum, you must indeed," he faltered; "I can't come!" "Why?" she asked.
Our only certain information about Moschus is contained in his own Dirge for Bion. He speaks of his verse as 'Ausonian song, and of himself as Mion's pupil and successor. It is plain that he was acquainted with the poems of Theocritus. Cypris was raising the hue and cry for Love, her child, 'Who, where the three ways meet, has seen Love wandering?
I shall tell her of your virtue, your beauty and modesty, of your singing, which is so sweet that even the nightingale is silent in order to listen to it, of your love and tenderness. But all this I shall tell her belongs to the divine Cypris, and when she cries, 'O Aphrodite, could I but see thee! I too shall kiss my sister." "Hark, what was that? Melitta surely clapped her hands.
