In the story, Apollo makes fun of Cupid and he shoots Apollo and Daphne (nymph) with arrows. Apollo gets struck with an arrow that makes him eternally fall in love with the nymph, Daphne. Daphne gets struck with an arrow that makes her hate the thought of love, so she will never get married. Apollo chases her day after day, until one day he couldn't bear it any longer. He chased her far Into the Woods. He begged her to stop for fear that she might fall and be hurt. She ran out of breath and could run no longer. She prayed to her father, Peneus, and he changed her into a laurel tree. This is why Apollo's sign in a woven laurel crown (woven from Daphne's tree) and why the laurel symbol was used to fight the Romans.

What does Apollo flies and Daphne holds the chase mean?
The song tells this story from Ovid's Metamorphosis: the God, Phoebus Apollo, espied and lusted after the beautiful and virtuous nymph Daphne. He pursued her but Daphne ran from him and as she did so, prayed to the chaste Goddess Diana (Apollo's sister). Diana heard Daphne's pleas for help and saved her by turning her into a Bay or Laurel tree. Shakespeare knew the story, for in Taming of the Shrew, he compares Kate to "Daphne roaming through a thorny wood, scratching her legs that one shall swear she bleeds" (Ind.ii.57-58). In A Midsummer Night's Dream though, the situation is turned around, for Helena says "Apollo flies and Daphne holds the chase" (II.i.231)
