It’s unclear in S3 if the messenger or Venus is doing the praising. Also, why “warm” instead of “warmth”?
I suppose my irreligiosity makes this seem romantic only in the Victorian sense. The speaker sounds “smitten” and “wan” and all that Romantic Era artificiality. I sense in both the flow of the theme and the specifics of the language neither real prayer, nor religion, nor good old fashioned sensuality (i.e., horniness).
