Miroir de l’âme pécheresse ("Mirror of the Sinful Soul") is a 1531 poem by Marguerite d'Angoulême. It was translated by the future Queen Elizabeth I in 1548 as A Godly Meditation of the Soul.{{Cite web |title=Margaret of Angoulême {{!}} French queen consort and poet {{!}} Britannica |url=https://www.britannica.com/biography/Margaret-of-Angouleme |access-date=2022-02-03 |website=www.britannica.com |language=en}} Sorbonne theologians condemned the work as heresy. A monk said Marguerite should be sewn into a sack and thrown into the Seine. Students at the Collège de Navarre satirized her in a play as "a Fury from Hell". Her brother forced the charges to be dropped, however, and obtained an apology from the Sorbonne.{{Cite book|author=Queen Margaret of Navarre|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Z4fHoAEACAAJ|title=The Mirror of the Sinful Soul|date=March 2014|publisher=Literary Licensing, LLC|isbn=978-1-4979-7511-8|language=en}}
