In this passage in Longus, Daphnis says that a fire is burning his heart, which is similiar to how Johnny Cash describes his own love by saying that he’s falling into a ring of fire.

Love is a burnin’ thing, And it makes a fiery ring Bound by wild desire I fell into a ring of fire. I fell into a burnin’ ring of fire I went down, down, down And the flames went higher, And it burns, burns, burns, The ring of fire, the ring of fire. I fell into a burnin’ ring of fire I went down, down, down And the flames went higher, And it burns, burns, burns, The ring of fire, the ring of fire. The taste of love is sweet When hearts like ours meet. I fell for you like a child Oh, but the fire went wild. I fell into a burnin’ ring of fire I went down, down, down And the flames went higher, And it burns, burns, burns, The ring of fire, the ring of fire. I fell into a burnin’ ring of fire I went down, down, down, And the flames went higher, And it burns, burns, burns, The ring of fire, the ring of fire. And it burns, burns, burns, The ring of fire, the ring of fire. The ring of fire, the ring of fire The ring of fire
