Prosopopée of Du Bellay, Ronsard

Jean Cousin the Younger, Portrait of Joachim du Bellay


[...] The other day while sleeping (as a vain idol
Who this side beyond which the wind would volle)
M'aparut du Bellay not such that he was sweet to his
When the Princes arrestoit,
And he was making the run France after his lyre
Who else on all the pleint and desires: But
have and Descharnes planted on large bones. His
costes, and its carcass back Espine
Estoyent widow flesh, and his eloquent mouth
jadiz Where is the logeoit mieilliere fly
The Graces and Pithon was without language, without dens,
And his eyes, and if estoyent if promps Ardans
to see dance the dance of nine learned virgins
Estoyent no white without black, no light nor eyes,
And his head, which was the Caballin Coupeau
had retraict nose, no hair, and skinless
point ear-shaped, and In his opening
hollow were it not that stomach worms and rot.

Three times I wanted to kiss her dreams, And thrice
fleeing would not be leaving my arms
Press: umbre and
Volloit all alone from place to place, and a lark
Volle front of the dog, which will next
And thinking of taking it, it prent than wind.
At the end, opening his mouth and gloomy pall,
Fist leave a voice like a cygalle,
Grésillons From a small or a small Poullet
When very far from his mother he chirped seullet.

And told me: "Ronsard, that without spot envye
J'aymé when I lived as my own life, first
Who pushed me and train me
voice to celebrate the honor of language Francois
and a companion art, you address me monsters
wash my mouth are waves Permess:
Then it pleased God to take me to thee, Hear
Ceste lesson and take from me.

Fear God over all things, and meditates day and night
in the law that his son has left us ecripte: Your
expectancy after, and body and mind is firmly stuck in
savior Jesuchrist: Obey your
Prince and the arm of Justice,
And make your friends and fun and Service:
Contente toy of yours, and be not desirous
property nor favors, and thou shalt be happy.
When the world where you are, what are only a chimera, you
Who serves stepmother in place of sweet Mother:
Everything goes by fortune and conscience,
And nothing is perfect expression lasting union .
God never changes: man is only smoke
That little thing done in one day fire is lit. Although

happy is he who lives there long,
And he who lives without a name so obscure it is barely
knowne those of his vilage,
He who, amy Ronsard, the one is the wiser. Sy

the spirits of the jaws you want adjouster faith,
Who are more liars, Ronsard, withdraw thyself, Vy
alone in your house, and ja Dapple forsaken
A longer follow short, your enchantress Circe.

When the fields where I am, we are all equal,
The Manes of great kings and men in rural
Some cattlemen, Soldan, and princes from Asia,
Wander egallement according to their fancy,
Who this side beyond that into pleasure s'esbattant
Va orchard Vollett another at will,
Simple, lightweight and hail, as we see Avettes
Voller Parmy voz prez on young flowers.

Between Homer and Virgil, and a Demy god
Surrounded minds, I have my place in meillieu,
am And the way I described Masures,
For Elisians fields, beloved souls pure The valiant
Demy-gods, and Prince Henry (1) ,
hiding his wound wanders alone and sorry, the last
Dequoy Parque merciless glad
Suddenly his repose, his pleasure and life.

And I wander as her sadness injured
Who without you say to God so soon I'll let,
And without taking leave of our whole band of them
A toy is recommended by Bellay. "Thus saith

Ceste idolle, and as pront
In a thunder is the bare pert, was lost in the air.


(1) It is of course the king of France Henri II


Pierre de Ronsard, taken from "Elegy to Lois hovels "(1560), in Speech, last verses
