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
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.
