Sunk in sloth and old port, still they come not. I seem to have said every possible thing that is to be said on every known subject to the young woman beside me, and now I am falling asleep. I feel it. Lulled by the warm glow diffused through the room, by the smell of the jonquils, lilies of the valley and daphnes, by the low even talk, I am slipping into slumber.
The air was heavy with the perfume of white hyacinths and daphnes the jardinieres were filled with the sweetest of flowers; Lady Amelie loved them so well; she was never so pleased as when in the midst of them. There was a marble Flora, whose hands were filled with purple heliotropes in fact, every beauty that money, taste or luxury could suggest, was there.
"On the twentieth of May," continued Jacques, enveloping the fascinating countenance of Belle-bouche with his melancholy glance, "the old lovers in Arcadia the Strephons, Chloes, Corydons, Daphnes, and Narcissuses always made love and married on that day." "Then," said Belle-bouche, faintly smiling, "they did every thing very quickly." "In a great hurry, eh?" said Jacques, sighing. "Yes, sir."
You are stones that have been broken by the heart of the torrent, you have been dashed against each other and have been tossed about amid the daphnes of the ravine, you have been whipped by hailstorms and tempest, buried under the avalanche, uncovered by the sun, loosened by the feet of the chamois, you are cold and beautiful but above all else you are pure.

Village people always have plants in their windows, and mother won't want to see the street staring in." "Have you brought some?" "How could I? Those great oranges and daphnes? No: I shall have little window plants and raise them." "But meanwhile, won't the street be staring in?" "Well, we can keep the blinds shut, for the warm weather."
See the pastures, Arcadian with sheep in hundreds and thousands, Thyrsis and Menalcas would have had hard labor to count them, and small time, I fear, for singing songs about Daphne. But, alas! Daphnes are rare; no nymphs with garlands and crooks trip over those pastures.
Francisco, found contrite, is forgiven by Lysander and Gloriana; Cliton and Florida love once more; so do Daphnes and Cloe, appropriately enough. Scrub announces the death of the usurping duke, 'who banished good old Leon; Francisco and Lysander reveal themselves as princes who left the court to win his daughter's love, when he was driven from his land, and so love crowns the end.
