an almost accidental gathering of poets

Daphne
My Daphne´s hair is twisted gold,
Bright stars apiece her eyes do hold;
My Daphne´s brow enthrones the graces,
My Daphne´s beauty stains all faces;
On Daphne´s cheek grow rose and cherry,
On Daphne´s lip a sweeter berry;
Daphne´s snowy hand but touched does melt,
And then no heavenlier warmth is felt;
My Daphne´s voice tunes all the spheres,
My Daphne´s music charms all ears.
Fond am I thus to sing her praise;
These glories now are turned to bays.
