Pierre de Ronsard (1524 – 1585) was a French poet or, as his own generation in France called him, a "prince of poets".

This volume of Ronsard's translated lyrics contains odes, madrigals, elegies, epigrams, hymns, etc. French texts face Englsih translations.

Solid, clean copy. Previous owner's inscription on front free endpaper. Uncommon post-war edition with appealing translations. Very Scarce post-war dust jacket has a signifcant rip on the rear panel and losses to the head & foot of its spine. Some toning on endpapers (due to newspapers?), though pages are clean and quite bright.
