Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ...danger in thy stay, Lest hearing me so oft complain, Should make thee change thy cheerful strain, Thy songs cannot my grief remove, Thou harmless syren of the grove. 4o Then cease, thou charmer of the air, No more in music spend the morn, With me that languish in despair, Oppresl by Cynthia's hate and scorn; And do not this poor boon deny, I ask but silence whilst I die. Apollo and Daphne Panting for breath, towards her parent brook, Like the tir'd deer before an eager chase, Fair Daphne ran, nor durst behind her look: With winged feet, and with a blubb'red face. The beardless God, who, taken with her charms, Had long pursu'd, by his hot passion led, Straight saw her stop, and upward stretch her arms On Peneus' banks, where she for aid had fled. He saw her nimble feet take root and grow, And a rough bark her tender limbs enclose; Her hair, which once like curls of gold did show, Chang'd green, and in a shade of boughs arose.
