AGE. This place may be pleasant enough, but in our impatience we would
find the Princess Psyche.

CID. Something very important must doubtless be urging you both to
seek her.

CLE. The motive is powerful enough, since our happiness depends
entirely upon her.

AGL. Might we be allowed to inquire into the secret implied by these
words?

CLE. We do not pretend to make a mystery of it. Indeed, it would show
itself in spite of us; and the secret, Madam, does not last long when
it is love.

CID. Without further words, Princes, it means that you are both in
love with Psyche.

AGE. We are both under her sway, and we go with one accord to declare
our passion to her.

AGL. It is certainly something quite new, and rather odd, to see two
rivals so well agreed.

CLE. It is true that the thing is rare; but it is not impossible for
two perfect friends.

CID. In this spot, is she the only fair one, and can you find none
other with whom to divide your admiration?
