HEPHAESTUS.

Wherefore? wherefore?

(A wind shakes the house.)

I hear the rushing of a mighty wind

Through all the halls and chambers of my house!

Her parted lips inhale it, and her bosom

Heaves with the inspiration. As a reed

Beside a river in the rippling current

Bends to and fro, she bows or lifts her head.

She gazes round about as if amazed;

She is alive; she breathes, but yet she speaks not!

(PANDORA descends from the pedestal.)

CHORUS OF THE GRACES

AGLAIA.

In the workshop of Hephaestus

What is this I see?

Have the Gods to four increased us

Who were only three?

Beautiful in form and feature,

Lovely as the day,

Can there be so fair a creature

Formed of common clay?
