{{Text|French| | |||
Quand vous serez bien vieille, au soir à la chandelle, | |||
Assise auprès du feu, dévidant et filant, | |||
Direz chantant mes vers, en vous émerveillant : | |||
« Ronsard me célébrait du temps que j’étais belle. » | |||
Lors vous n’aurez servante oyant telle nouvelle, | |||
Déjà sous le labeur à demi sommeillant, | |||
Qui au bruit de mon nom ne s’aille réveillant, | |||
Bénissant votre nom, de louange immortelle. | |||
Je serai sous la terre et, fantôme sans os, | |||
Par les ombres myrteux je prendrai mon repos ; | |||
Vous serez au foyer une vieille accroupie, | |||
Regrettant mon amour et votre fier dédain. | |||
{{ | Vivez, si m’en croyez, n’attendez à demain : | ||
Cueillez dès aujourd’hui les roses de la vie.}} | |||
{{mdl}} | |||
{{Translation|English| | |||
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, | |||
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 what comes to-morrow who can say? | |||
Live, pluck the roses of the world to-day.}} | |||
