A French poet (1613-91), chiefly remembered as author of the ballets, much in vogue then, in which the king and his courtiers took part; also by his dainty lyrics,-especially the sonnet on "Job", which, in rivalry with Voiture's sonnet to "Urania", incited a literary feud in 1651.
By Charles Dudley Warner
