No, it's actually a verse rendition of the Thornley translation.
But you've raised another hare now. Should the e in Chloe have a diacritic? I've seen Ravel's ballet 'Daphnis et Chloé, and very occasionally I've seen it in English as Chloë. But since by far the most common spelling is Chloe that's how I left it.
