The passage to which the poet alludes is:<br /><em>" Tel qu'on voit un Taureau qu'une Guespe en furie </em><br /><em>A piqué dans les flancs au dépens de sa vie " </em>Pléiade p. 193 v. 7 & 8<br />Boileau had already responded two years earlier to his correspondent's criticism of this very passage in a letter he sent on May 26 1703: <em>"I well remember however that you strongly attacked what I say in my Lutrin about the Wasp which dies from the very sting with which it wounds its enemy."</em></p><p>2- <em>"</em> <em>Au joug de la Raison asservissant la Rime</em><br /><em>Et mesme en imitant toujours original</em><br /><em>J'ay sceu dans mes Escrits docte enjoués sublimes </em><br /><em>Rassembler en moi Perse Horace et Juvenal</em> <em>"</em> Pléiade p. 272<br />Brossette recounts that an engraver wishing to place a few verses beneath a portrait of Boileau asked the poet to compose them himself. To this Boileau replied: <em>"I am neither vain enough to speak well of myself nor foolish enough to speak ill of myself."</em> Even if he tries in vain to deny it Boileau is indeed the author of the epigram pretending to find himself too highly praised. He even complains about it in Poem no. XII <em>Pléiade</em> p. 245.</p><p>3- <em>"The other infamous engraving"</em> is a portrait of Boileau by an artist whose name he did not know. Plainly very displeased the poet lashes out in his earlier letter of January 12 1705 in these terms: <em>"</em>it<em> resembles me less than the Great Mogul."</em> The four lines to which he here alludes are found in that same letter:<br /><em>" Du celebre Boileau tu vois ici l'image.</em><br /><em>Quoi c'est là diras tu ce Critique achevé </em><br /><em>D'où vient le noir chagrin qu'on lit sur son visage </em><br /><em>C'est de ce voir si mal gravé. "</em></p><p>4- Pierre Targas married a cousin of Boileau Élisabeth Colin in 1647. Boileau made him the dedicatee of his Epigram LXVII <em>"The Lover of Clocks"</em> which he composed in December 1704.</p><p>5- François de Castagner Abbé de Chateauneuf 1645–1709 was Voltaire's godfather.</p><p>6- In his letter of February 12 Brossette enclosed an inscription "engraved on an ancient altar in the form of a pedestal which had been discovered in recent days in Lyon on the hill of Fourvière by peasants digging in the ground.</p><p>7- Boileau's reaction to the latest letter sent by Brossette who writes to him: <em>"You see Sir that in those times our Lyon was already a considerable city adorned with the title of colony and municipium and admitted to the honors and privileges of the Roman people whereas your Lutetia perhaps did not yet even dare aspire to the name of city."</em></p><p>8- <em>The Cid</em> Act I Scene 2 Don Diègue to the Count:<br /><em>" Je le sais vous servez bien le roi :</em><br /><em>Je vous ai vu combattre et commander sous moi.</em><br /><em>Quand l'âge dans mes nerfs a fait couler sa glace</em><br /><em>Votre rare valeur a bien rempli ma place ;</em><br /><em>Enfin pour épargner les discours superflus</em><br /><em>Vous êtes aujourd'hui ce qu'autrefois je fus. "</em></p><p>9- This is the translation of Boileau's ode <em>On the Capture of Namur</em>.</p><p>A lawyer from Lyon Claude Brossette 1671–1743 met the poet during a stay in Paris in 1698. Admirer of Boileau's poetry he was authorized by the poet to consider publishing his works with commentary. The edition rich in notes did not appear until 1716 five years after the poet's death. Brossette also left a <em>Journal</em> published by Laverdet in 1858 in which his relationship with Boileau is recounted.<br />Of the seventy-five letters from Boileau to Brossette that have been catalogued more than half are now held in the collections of the Historical Library of the City of Paris.</p><p><strong><u>Boileau's letters to Brossette considered among the finest in the poet's correspondence are exceedingly rare on the open market</u></strong></p><p><u>Provenance:</u><br />Private collection</p><p><u>Bibliography:</u><br /><em>Correspondance entre Boileau Despréaux et Brossette</em> éd.
