For this poem by Samuel Daniel, published in 1609, I used two different Early Modern accents that can be reconstructed for the period. Ulysses speaks a conservative dialect of the Elizabethan university type (with no Foot-Strut split, a DEW-DUE contrast, a POINT-JOY contrast, a low MATE vowel etc.) whereas the Siren speaks a much more innovative lect.
