BERTAUT, JEAN (15521611)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 811 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BEC-BER
BERTAUT, JEAN (15521611) , French poet, was born at Caen in 1552. He figures with Desportes in the disdainful couplet of Boileau on Ronsard:
" Ce poete orgueilleux, trebuche de si haut,
Rendit plus retenus Desportes et
Bertaut
 ."
He wrote light verse to celebrate the incidents of court life in the manner of Desportes, but his verse is more fantastic and fuller of conceits than his master's. He early entered the church, and had a share in the conversion of
Henry
  IV., a circumstance which assured his career. He was successively councillor of the parlement of Grenoble, secretary to the king,
almoner
  to Marie de' Medici, abbot of Aulnay and finally, in 16o6, bishop of
Sees
 . After his
elevation
  to the bishopric he ceased to produce the light verse in which he excelled, though his scruples did not prevent him. from preparing a new edition of his Recueil de quelqucs vers amoureux (1602) in 16o6. The serious poems in which he celebrated the public events of his later years are dull and lifeless.
Bertaut
  died at
Sees
  on the 8th of June 1611. His works were edited by M. Ad. Chenevieres in 1891.
