This sudden change and alteration of celestiall honour, did greatly inflame and kindle the ire of very Venus, who unable to temper her selfe from indignation, shaking her head in raging sort, reasoned with her selfe in this manner, Behold the originall parent of all these elements, behold the Lady Venus renowned throughout all the world, with whome a mortall maiden is joyned now partaker of honour: my name registred in the city of heaven, is prophaned and made vile by terrene absurdities. If I shall suffer any mortall creature to present my Majesty on earth, or that any shall beare about a false surmised shape of my person, then in vain did Paris the sheepheard (in whose just judgement and confidence the great Jupiter had affiance) preferre me above the residue of the goddesses, for the excellency of my beauty: but she, whatsoever she be that hath usurped myne honour, shal shortly repent her of her unlawfull estate. And by and by she called her winged sonne Cupid, rash enough and hardy, who by his evil manners contemning all publique justice and law, armed with fire and arrowes, running up and downe in the nights from house to house, and corrupting the lawfull marriages of every person, doth nothing but that which is evill, who although that hee were of his owne proper nature sufficiently prone to worke mischiefe, yet she egged him forward with words and brought him to the city, and shewed him Psyche (for so the maid was called), and having told the cause of her anger, not without great rage, I pray thee (quoth she) my dear childe, by motherly bond of love, by the sweet wounds of thy piercing darts, by the pleasant heate of thy fire, revenge the injury which is done to thy mother by the false and disobedient beauty of a mortall maiden, and I pray thee, that without delay shee may fall in love with the most miserablest creature living, the most poore, the most crooked, and the most vile, that there may bee none found in all the world of like wretchednesse.
– Apuleius, The Golden Ass, translated by William Adlington (1566)
