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.]
