Quotes by Pierre de Ronsard (?)

“Haleine contre haleine, échauffe-moi la vie,
Mille et mille baisers donne-moi je te prie,
Amour veut tout sans nombre, amour n’a point de loi

Translated: Breath against breath warms my life.
A thousand kisses give me I pray thee.
Love says it all without number,
love knows no law.”
― Pierre de Ronsard

“Mignonne, allons voir si la rose
Qui ce matin avait declose
Sa robe de pourpre au soleil,
A point perdu cetter verpree,
Les plis de sa robe pourpree,
Et son teint au votre pareil”

“When you are old, at evening candle-lit
beside the fire bending to your wool,
read out my verse and murmur, "Ronsard writ
this praise for me when I was beautiful."
And not a maid but, at the sound of it,
though nodding at the stitch on broidered stool,
will start awake, and bless love's benefit
whose long fidelities bring Time to school.
I shall be thin and ghost beneath the earth
by myrtle shade in quiet after pain,
but you, a crone, will crouch beside the hearth
mourning my love and all your proud disdain.
And since what comes to-morrow who can say?
Live, pluck the roses of the world to-day.”
― Pierre de Ronsard, Sonnets pour Hélène
