Fabula Phoebi & Daphnes.

ARcadiae juvenis Thirsis, Phoebi{que} sacerdos, Ingenti frustra Galateae ardebat amore: Haud deus ipse olim Daphne majora canebat, Nec fuit asperior Daphne, nec pulchrior illa. Carminibus Phoebo dignis premit ille fugacem Per rupes, per saxa volans, per florida vates Pascua, formosam nunc his componere Nympham, Nunc illis erudelem insana mente solebat: Audiit illa procul miserum, citharam{que} sonantem Audiit, at nullis respexit mota querelis. Ne tamen omnino caneret desertus, ad alta Sidera perculsi referunt nova carmina montes: Sic non quaesitis cumulatus laudibus olim Elapsa, reperit Daphne sua laurea Phoebus.
