Chorus:

Bear the god of Love along

To the place appointed!

With a dance and with a song

Greet his bride anoited.

Of his marble temple home

He will weary never,

For the fairest maid in Rome

Is his own for ever!

Is his own, is his own — for ev—er!

Maia:

Father, I thank and bless

Your craft and sorcery;

The stone for the Princess

The man is left for me.

(Maia kisses her father)

Heliodorus:

Ha, ha, ha, ha!

The man is left for thee!

Ha, ha, ha, ha!

Draw back the veil and see!

(Heliodorus points to pedestal and exits chuckling)

Maia:

Come to me dear,

No one is near,

Kill with a kiss all my trouble and fear;

She has her stone

Eros alone—

You are my Eros — my love and my own!

Answer me!

Why are you dumb?

Answer me,

Answer me, come!
