Collection of poems in a variety of forms, including odes, elegies, epigrams, acrostics, epitaphs, and rondeaux, with a few prose pieces. A small number of the poems have attributions, such as the "Traduction de la première ode d'Horace" by the abbé Jean-Claude Fontaine; "Le danger des spectacles" by Louis-Etienne Arcère; and a few poems by Chrétien Guillaume de Lamoignon de Malesherbes. Of the many poems without attribution, several concern famous individuals, such as Voltaire, Mazarin, and Richelieu.
