These were, "Mélicerte," a species of heroic pastoral, in which Molière certainly did not excel, and "Le Sicilien, ou L'Amour Peintre," a few lively scenes linked together, so as to form a pleasing introduction to several of those dances in costume, or ballets, as they were called, in which Louis himself often assumed a character.
Vivent la joie, la bagatelle, l'amour!" "Et le vin de Champagne!" cried Chaulieu, filling his glass; "but what is there strange in our merriment? Philemon, the comic poet, laughed at ninety-seven. May we all do the same!" "You forget," cried Bolingbroke, "that Philemon died of the laughing." "Yes," said Hamilton; "but if I remember right, it was at seeing an ass eat figs.
