"Quand vous serez bien vielle, le soir a la chandelle / Assise aupres du feu devisant et filant, / Direz, chantant mes vers en vous esmerveillant, / Ronsard m'a celebre du temps que j'etois belle. "
Some winter night, shut snugly in / Beside the fagot in the hall, / I think I see you sit and spin, / Surrounded by your maidens all.
