SONNET, Thomas, Sieur de Couval - Satyre Menippée sur les poingnantes traverses et incommoditez du Mariage. Avec la Timethelie ou censure des femmes ... Troisiesme edition. Reveuë ... et augmentée d'une Deffence apologetique contre les censeurs de sa Satyre du Mariage. Paris, Jean Millot, 1610, In-8, (12) ff. 73 pp. including the portrait engraved by Léonard Gaultier (Satyre Ménippée); (2) ff. 38 pp. (Thimethelie); 41 (1) pp. (Defense apologetique); 28 pp. (Responce à la contre-satyre), paper a little yellowed, old brown calf, spine ribbed with gilt thread.
FRÈRE II, 538. GAY III, 1072. ''Extremely rare Norman poet, original to the point of cynicism.'' He was born in Vire in 1577. Really 3rd edition, to be preferred to the first of 1609, because much enlarged. The Satyre and Thiméthélie are in alexandrines. The work is a violent attack on women; however, it contains very interesting details on the mores of the century.
