Édition originale du premier ouvrage publié par Passerat, à l’âge de vingt-cinq ans

Son nom n’y apparaît d’ailleurs pas, seules ses initiales figurent sur la page de titre : I[ehan] P[asserat] T[royen]. Cet « A-Dieu » est en fait une fascétie et un jeu littéraire. A la suite de Buchanan, du Bellay et Ronsard lui-même, il s’en prend aux Muses trop ingrates, qu’il se propose d’abandonner au profit d’occupations plus rentables, médecine ou droit.

La plaquette s’achève par une Ode à Bacchus « ques je feis estant ivre » confesse-t-il. Plusieurs passages du poème furent censurés lors de sa réimpression en 1606.
