Incontinently after, Jupiter commanded Mercury to bring up Psyche, the spouse of Cupid, into the Pallace of heaven. And then he took a pot of immortality, and said, Hold Psyche, and drinke, to the end thou maist be immortall, and that Cupid may be thine everlasting husband. By and by the great banket and marriage feast was sumptuously prepared, Cupid sate downe with his deare spouse betweene his armes: Juno likewise with Jupiter, and all the other gods in order, Ganimedes filled the pot of Jupiter, and Bacchus served the rest. Their drinke was Nectar, the wine of the gods, Vulcanus prepared supper, the howers decked up the house with roses and other sweet smells, the graces threw about balme, the Muses sang with sweet harmony, Apollo tuned pleasantly to the Harpe, Venus danced finely: Sitirus and Paniscus plaid on their pipes: and thus Psyche was married to Cupid, and, after, she was delivered of a child whom we call Pleasure. 

– Apuleius, The Golden Ass, translated by William Adlington (1566)
