Choir of young girls: The clouds of the sky gave you their colour
Choir of young girls: The clouds of the sky gave you their colour
Venus: Like the lobster of the deep I am dresses in my skeleton. Within is the rose-colored flesh of dream, more gentle than honey.
Choir of Young Girls:Your blood is sweeter than honey. Your honey is sweeter than your blood.
Venus: Because I am Venus and I dream
Choir of Men & Young Girls (in stupefaction):Venus, Venus, Venus
Venus: In the fever of love, I lie upon my ardent bed. A bed eternally long, and I dream my burning dreams — the longest dreams ever dreamed without beginning and without end.

Venus: Enter the shell of my house and you will see my dreams.
Choir of Men:Enter! Enter!
Choir of Young Girls: Enter into the house of dreams.
