An Epitaph for Rabelais by Jean-Antoine de Baïf

Reading Rabelais, Jehan Georges Vibert, 19th C

King Dis who rule the joyless dead,
Receive as guest our Rabelais,
That to your realm of somber dread
Laughter at last may find its way.

Une épitaphe pour Rabelais
O Pluton, Rabelais recoy,
Afin que toy qui es le roy
De Ceux qui ne rient jamais,
Tu aie un rieur desormais.
