Our translations: ENG
Ronsard repose ici, qui, hardi des l'enfance, Détourna d'Helicon les muses en la France, Suivant le son du luth et les traits d'Apollon. Mais peu valut sa muse encontre l'aiguillon De la mort, qui cruelle en ce tombeau l'enserre: Son âme soit à Dieu, son corps soit à la terre.
