French text

Pleurez, Muses, pleurez, attristez vos chansons,
Regrettans le trespas d'un de vos nourrissons,
L'industrieux Plantin, le premier de nostr' aage.

Qui na rien espargné d'argent, ny peine aussi,
Pour rendre votre los par le monde esclairecy,
Las, Muses, il est mort imprimant cet ouvrage.
