At the touch she awoke, and opened eyes upon Cupid (himselfinvisible), which so startled him that in his confusion he woundedhimself with his own arrow. Heedless of his wound, his wholethought now was to repair the mischief he had done, and he pouredthe balmy drops of joy over all her silken ringlets.
Psyche, henceforth frowned upon by Venus, derived no benefit fromall her charms. True, all eyes were cast eagerly upon her, andevery mouth spoke her praises; but neither king, royal youth, norpleb...eian presented himself to demand her in marriage. Her twoelder sisters of moderate charms had now long been married to tworoyal princes; but Psyche, in her lonely apartment, deplored hersolitude, sick of that beauty which, while it procured abundanceof flattery, had failed to awaken love.
