Slanderers or impostors had persuaded this young coxcomb that Casimir, the King of Poland, whilst dwelling in Paris in the quality of a simple gentleman, had shown himself most assiduous to Madame Brisacier, and that he, Brisacier of France, was born of these assiduities of the Polish prince.
Brisacier, whom she looked upon as desperately smitten, had wit, which he set off with common-place talk, and with little sonnets: he sung out of tune most methodically, and was continually exerting one or other of these happy talents: the Duke of Buckingham did all he could to spoil him, by the praises he bestowed both upon his voice and upon his wit.
The King, no less, approached her with precaution, in order to observe the first results of her answers. "Madame," he said, "are you still quite satisfied with young Brisacier, your private secretary?" "More or less," replied the Infanta; "a little light, a little absent; but, on the whole, a good enough young man."
