-
A French poet; born at Paris, Aug. 11, 1729; died there, Sept. 2, 1807. His title "Pindar" is due to the form and the mythological allusions of his odes, not to any large poetical merit, either in them or the lyrics; and as a satirist, he alternately groveled before and libeled the same men. His best odes are addressed to Buffon. He excelled in the composition of madrigals and epigrams; the latter relate for the most part to his quarrels with other authors.
By Charles Dudley Warner
