Additional quotes by Pierre de Ronsard

Mignonne, allons voir si la rose
Qui ce matin avoit desclose
Sa robe de pourpre au Soleil,
A point perdu ceste vesprée
Les plis de sa robe pourprée.
Et son teint au vostre pareil.

Not too high, nor too low—is of all styles the best,
As the epics of Homer and Virgil attest.

Tandis que vostre âge fleuronne
En sa plus verte nouveauté,
Cueillez, cueillez vostre jeunesse:
Comme à ceste fleur la vieillesse
Fera ternir vostre beauté.

I would be the ribbon That binds your lovely breast, I would be the necklace That adorns your ivory throat. - Pierre de Ronsard
