However, "Daphne" was older than Playford, and appears to have been the tune for a 17th century ballad based on the ancent Greek myth, retold by Hellenistic and Roman authors in the form of an amorous vignette, regarding Apollo's pursuit of the nymph Daphne, who escaped only by turning herself into a tree.  It is known that the melody was a great favorite in Elizabethan times [Ian Payne, '''The Almain in Britain'''], along with others found in Playford; "[[Heart's Ease (1)]]," "[[Greenwood]]" and "[[Wooddicock]]."

It is known that the melody was a great favorite in Elizabethan times [Ian Payne, The Almain in Britain], along with others found in Playford; "Heart's Ease (1)," "Greenwood" and "Wooddicock." "Daphne" also appears in the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book (with variations by composer Giles Farnaby), Adriaen Valerius' Nederlandtsche Gedenck-clanck (1626), J.J. Starter's Friesche Lust-Hof (1621), Jacob van Eyk's Fluyten Lust-Hof (1654, as "Doen Daphne"), and Forbes' Songs and Fancies (1666).
