Excerpt: "Antoine Girard, sieur de Saint-Amant (September 30, 1594 – December 29, 1661) was a French poet....Saint-Amant has left a considerable body of poetry. His Albion and Rome ridicule set the fashion of the burlesque poem. In his later years he devoted himself to serious subjects and produced an epic, Moyse sauvé (1653). His other work consists of Bacchanalian songs, his Débauche being one of the most remarkable convivial poems of its kind."(Submitted on June 11, 2022.)
