Ton nom que mon vers dira, Tout le monde remplira De ta louange notoire Un tas qui chantent de toy Ne sçavent si bien que moy Comme il me faut sonner ta gloire. Jupiter ayant mémoire D’une vieille destinée Autrefois determinée Par l’oracle de Themis A commandé que Florence Dessous les loix de la Franche Te courbe le chef soubmis. Le comble de ton sçavoir Et de tes vertus ensemble Dit que l’on ne sçauroit voir Rien que toy qui te resemble. Quelle dame a la pratique De tant de mathematique ? Quelle princesse entend mieux Du grand monde la peinture, Les chemins de la nature Et la musique des cieux ?
P. Cléreau sets stanza 1

Your name, of which my verse will speak, The whole world will fill With your manifest praise; A mass who sing of you Know not as well as I How I must sound your glory. Jupiter, remembering An ancient fate Once upon a time fixed By the oracle of Themis, Commanded that Florence Beneath the laws of France Would bend to you its submissive head. The sum of your learning And of all your virtues Tells us that we cannot see here Anyone but you, who is like you. What lady has the skill Of so much mathematics ? What princess understands better The design of the great world, The paths of nature And the music of the heavens ?
