Composed by Pevernage in honour of the printer Christoffel Plantijn, who died at Antwerp, 1 July 1589.
- Pleurez Muses, pleurez, attristez vos chansons,
- Regrettans le trespas d’un de vos nourrissons,
- L’industrieux Plantin, le premier de nostre aage.
- Qui n’a rien espargné d’argent, ny peine aussi,
- Pour rendre vostre los par le monde esclarcy,
- Las! Muses, il est mort, imprimant cest ouvrage.
- [Weep, Muses, weep, sadden your songs,
- Grieve the passing of one of your nurslings,
- The industrious Plantin, the premier of our age.
- Who never spared money nor pains
- To render your praise through the enlightened world,
- Alas! Muses, he has died, printing this work.]
