A Provencal poet; born at Aix, 1624; died there, 1688. He took orders, and occupied successively various positions in the Church. He cultivated poetry with much success, showing great talent for versification, a jovial spirit, and a leaning towards satire, many of his verses being full of ingenious and sometimes stinging allusions to events of the times. The most remarkable of his Provencal poems is one called "The Bohemians"; and in French he published: "The Burning Chamber"; "Madeline Dying in the Desert"; "Christ on the Cross"; etc.
