MAROT TO THE QUEEN OF NAVARRE ON SOME VERSES ... SENT HIM, by CLEMENT MAROT Poet's Biography First Line: My creditors, whose hearts no poem stirs Last Line: I vowed in turn to borrow, as of late. Subject(s): Margaret Of Navarre (1492-1549); Margaret Of Angouleme | ||||||||
MY creditors, whose hearts no poem stirs, Chanced to read yours. On which I simply said: 'Michel! and Bonaventure! honoured sirs, For me these lines the King's own sister made.' When they this proof of mighty favour weighed, They dub me 'Sir,' and high in credit hold; Your verses proved to me as good as gold. For they not only promised me to wait, But vowed to lend me money as of old; I vowed in turn to borrow, as of late. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A LOVE-LESSON by CLEMENT MAROT ABOUT HIMSELF (1) by CLEMENT MAROT ABOUT HIMSELF (2) by CLEMENT MAROT AFTER AN EPIGRAM OF CLEMENT MAROT by CLEMENT MAROT BALLADE OF A FRIAR by CLEMENT MAROT BALLADE OF MAYE AND VIRTUE by CLEMENT MAROT DIZAIN IN ANSWER TO THE FOREGOING by CLEMENT MAROT EPIGRAM: 85.
