Édition originale. Hommage posthume du poète à son protecteur, François de Valois, duc d’Alençon, puis duc d’Anjou (1555-1584).

Son secrétaire inaugure l’éloge funèbre en proclamant partager la douleur de cette « Belgique triste, & sans appuy ». Il est permis de douter de la tristesse du Brabant et des Pays-Bas sur lesquels le duc d’Anjou avait cherché à imposer par la force un pouvoir qui lui avait été accordé par élection mais avec des contraintes qui ne convenaient pas à un prince, frère de monarque absolu. S’il parvint à ses fins dans quelques villes de moindre importance, le coup de force échoua à Bruges comme à Anvers, et la milice anversoise massacra les troupes du duc. Ce dernier se replia à Château-Thierry, où il finit par succomber à la tuberculose.

J. P. Barbier-Mueller, MBP, IV-3, 3 ; Diane Barbier-Mueller, Inventaire…, 419 ; J. P. Barbier-Mueller, Dictionnaire..., IV, pp. 84-96 ; FVB-31827 : BnF et Houghton Library, Harvard.
