I hope you have endeavored to suit your 'Traineau' to the character of the fair-one whom it is to contain. Proper mottos, I take it for granted, that you have eventually prepared; but if not, you may find a great many ready-made ones in 'Les Entretiens d'Ariste et d'Eugene, sur les Devises', written by Pere Bouhours, and worth your reading at any time.

Young's Night Thoughts might not be considered a suitable form of poem for parody, but this M. Durosoi, or Du Rosoi, accomplished in his Les Jours d'Ariste , and was sent to the Bastille for his pains.

It is illustrated too by a book which appeared in the seventies, Les Entretiens d'Ariste et Eugene, by Bouhours, a mundane and popular Jesuit Father. In the last century the Italians were first in doctrine and politesse. The general atmosphere in France, in the reign of Louis XIV., was propitious to the cause of the Moderns.
