Source on Charles IX of France

β€œLart de faire des vers, deust on s’en indigner, Doit etre a plus haut prix que celui de regner. Tous deux egalement nous portons des couronnes; Mais, roi, je la reΓ§us; et poete, tu les donnes.”

Pierre de Ronsard on Charles IX of France

β€œThe art of verse-making (should one be complaining) Is higher at least than the talent of reigning: We each boast a crown, both the monarch and poet, Yet kings but receive it, while authors bestow it.”
