John Danyel
English lute player and songwriter
John Danyel or John Daniel (c. 1564 – c. 1626) was an English lute player and songwriter. He was born in Wellow, Somerset, and was the younger brother of poet Samuel Daniel. He was baptized on 6 November 1564. His surviving works include "Coy Daphne Fled", about the nymph Daphne and her fate, and "Like as the lute delights".
Like as the lute delights, or else dislikes, As is his art that plays upon the same; So sounds my muse, according as she strikes On my heart strings, high-tuned unto her fame.
Daniel held some offices at court, and was the author of Songs for the Lute, Viol and Voice (1606).
