Synopsis

While seeking rest from daily care,I learned that Monsieur Molière,The darling of the muses nine,Whose blessings flow on him like wine,Is now presenting on the stage—Yes, he’s the idol of the age—A Miser who diverts us all;And not a little bit. His thrallEncompasses; his scope is vast;He makes us laugh from first to last.He speaks in prose and not in verse;But the effect is none the worse.His prose is so theatrical;Its essence is dramatical.This Miser, then, whose praise one sings,Is prodigal in comic things.What’s more, the acting’s excellent.Your time could not be better spent.Charles Robinet, Letters in Verse, Paris, 15 September 1668
