Apollon qui attrappe Daphné, qui est changée en un Laurier
[f16914501]
Apollon qui attrappe Daphné, qui est changée en un Laurier
Quærit & assequitur
Il court après les Lauriers il les trouve
Corre dietor i Lauri, & li ritrova
Cortre tras el Laurel y lo halla
Hy zoekt, en vind Laurieren
He runs after Laurels and catches them
Er sucht und findet Lorbeerbäume
