Le Lutrin, An Heroick Poem (1682)
by Nicolas Boileau-Despréaux, translated by N.O.

→

'Le Lutrin' was first published (in French) in 1674 as part of a collection of Boileau's works titled L'Œuvres diverses du sieur D***. It originally consisted of four cantos but was later expanded by Boileau to six. This translation, of the four canto version, was published in 1682.

The transcription follows the printed work, with one exception: in a few places, on a few pages, 'W' is represented by 'VV'; these have been transcribed as 'W'.
