1. PHOEBUS ET DAPHNĒ

2. Phoebus erat deus sōlis.

3. Īra Cupīdinis Phoebō amōrem dedit.

4. Tēlum acūtum amōrem facit

5. Daphnē nōmen amōris fugitat
Daphnē nōmen amōris fugitat. Per silvās cum Dīānā et cēterīs nymphīs errāre sōlum amat

6. Pater nymphae, deus flūminis, dīxit: `Dēbēs coniugem habēre
Pater nymphae, deus flūminis, dīxit: `Dēbēs coniugem habēre.’ Daphnē, tamen, virgō perpetua esse vult

7. Phoebus virginem videt et laudat sed Daphnē fugitat in silvās.

8. Pater nymphae bracchia pulchra in ramōs mūtat

9. Daphnē virgō fōrmōsa nunc est laurus

10. Phoebus arborī dīcit: `Stābis prīma in capitibus rēgum ducumque Rōmae’
