Le Gouvernement Present, Ou Loge de Son Eminence. Satyre Ou La Miliade (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780947623777)

This satirical poem, known popularly as the Miliade because of its thousand-verse length (in octosyllabic verse), was printed anonymously around 1636. The poem's endurance and plentiful and specific political references make it a lively commentary encompassing discontent with the increasingly centralized government before the outbreak of the civil wars, the Frondes (1648-53).
