This wicked scheme greatly pleased the two wicked sisters . They hid all the costly gifts , and tearing their hair and lacerating their cheeks , as they deserved to do , falsely renewed their lamentations . They soon frightened their parents into reopening the wound of their sorrow also . Then swollen with venom , they hastened home to plan their crime against an innocent sister , even to murder .

Placet pro bono duabus malis malum consilium , totisque illis tam pretiosis muneribus absconditis , comam trahentes et ( proinde ut merebantur ) ora lacerantes simulatos redintegrant fletus . Ac sic parentes quoque redulcerato prorsum dolore raptim deterrentes , vesania turgidae domus suas contendunt dolum scelestum , immo vero parricidam struentes contra sororem insontem .

So this evill counsell pleased these two evil women , and they hid the treasure which Psyches gave them , and tare their haire , renewing their false and forged teares . When their father and mother beheld them weep and lament still , they doubled their sorrowes and griefes , but full of yre and forced with Envy , they tooke their voyage homeward , devising the slaughter and destruction of their sister .

The wicked plan is pleasing , deemed good , by the two evil sisters , after all of those so valuable gifts had been hidden , tearing their hair and lacerating their faces ( just in the manner they deserved ) , the sisters renewed their false weeping . Thus , frightening their parents , their sorrow also wholly having been hastily reopened . Swollen with madness , the sisters dart to their home , constructing their wicked plan , even truly fratricidal plan , against their innocent sister .

Interea Psychen maritus ille quem nescit rursum suis illis nocturnis sermonibus sic commonet : " Videsne quantum tibi periculum ? Velitatur Fortuna eminus ac , nisi longe firmiter praecaves , mox comminus congredietur . Perfidae lupulae magnis conatibus nefarias insidias tibi comparant , quarum summa est , ut te suadeant meos explorare vultus , quos , ut tibi saepe praedixi , non videbis si videris .

Meanwhile her husband , whom Psyche does not know , warns her again in this manner , during their own night time conversations : " Do you see how great the danger is to you ? Fortune is also being fought from a distance , unless you steadfastly guard from afar , she will be met directly in close contact . The faithless witches are preparing a great effort to abominably ambush you , which is the principal matter , so they advise you to search for my features , which you have oftentimes mentioned , will by no means be seen or perceived .

Ergo igitur si posthac pessimae illae lamiae noxiis animis armatae venerint— venient autem , scio— neque omnino sermonem conteras et , si id tolerare pro genuina simplicitate proque animi tui teneritudine non potueris , certe de marito nil quicquam vel audias vel respondeas : nam et familiam nostram iam propagabimus et hic adhuc infantilis uterus gestat nobis infantem alium , si texeris nostra secreta silentio , divinum , si profanaveris , mortalem .

In continuation , if those wicked witches armed with a harmful conscience will have come — nevertheless , will come to know — and you may not altogether waste the conversation , if she endures before the natural simplicity then she will not have been able to endure the tenderness of your soul . Therefore , about your husband , you neither hear nor you promise anything : assuredly we will expand our family and this womb , until now the womb of a child , bears another baby for us , if you will have covered our secret by means of silence the baby will be divine , though if you reveal it , the divine baby will be subject to death .
