Pierre de Ronsard

“

When you are old, at evening candlelit,
Beside the fire bending to your wool,
Read out my verse and murmur, “Ronsard writ
This praise for me when I was beautiful.”

Pierre de Ronsard

“

Live now, believe me, wait not till tomorrow;
Gather the roses of life today.

Pierre de Ronsard

“

Harvest, oh! harvest your hour
While life is abloom with youth!
For age with bitter ruth
Will fade your beauty’s flower.

Pierre de Ronsard
