LACHÈVRE II, 314. MOREAU 1216. First edition dedicated to Mademoiselle de Chevreuse. Laffemas praises the Virgile travesti, of which Scarron published the fourth book that year: 'cet ouvrage est imprimé sans mon consentement. A work which seems to anticipate his own, but which will always be much later. Reader, I ask you for the grace to make up, with your wit and your charity, for a few imperfect verses that these foreigners have not been able to read''. Bookplate Frédéric Lachèvre.
