female · dramatic · 58 sec

I am Venus! I have many names in the outer world! It is I who rule the God of Love, I sway the hearts of all true lovers; in your world I have caused you poor mortals to burn for me--aye, and with an unconsuming, unquenchable fire! (ALPH: Lor', you're a bit of a hot 'un!) Hot 'un! You speak in enigmas? You are fully aware why I come hither? (ALPH: I don't. You are the statue out of them gardens, ain't you?) I am no statue--I am Venus, I tell you! I have lain in a long, long trance, how long I know not, in my own palace in the Isle of Cyprus. How long I should have lain in that trance I know not had it not been for thou, most lovely mortal!
