The goddess seems to reject Umbriel. However, she grants his prayer. She takes a bag like the one Ulysses used to hold the winds. She fills it with the power of female lungs along with sighs, sobs, passions, and cutting tongues. She fills avail with swoons, sorrows, grief, and tears. Then she gives everything to Umbriel.
