Rarissime exemplaire de l’édition originale, elle manque à la BnF.



« Quand j’étais jeune et que ma bourse était plate, j’aurais probablement donné quelques mois de ma vie pour trouver ce livret » (Jean Paul Barbier-Muller, MBP, IV-2, p.387).

Disciple de Ronsard, il entra à son service à 13 ans en tant que page, puis secrétaire. Cette plaquette constitue la première œuvre poétique d’Amadis Jamyn en dehors des quelques pièces encomiastiques. Publiée à l’occasion du mariage de Charles IX, ce texte est un prétexte au poète pour se distinguer davantage auprès du roi. Toutefois, les relations entre le souverain et le poète sont sans doute antérieures à 1570, Amadis Jamyn ayant problablement déjà recontré Charles IX par l’intermédiaire de Ronsard.
