Biography

Jean Marot accepted a neglected education. One did not make him learn the Latin ; but it compensated for it, as much as it was by him, by studying in our authors the history, the fable and poetry. The Romance of the Rose was her favorite reading. Its good behavior and some worms which it had composed deserved him the protection of Anne of Brittany, since woman of Louis XII; he was his secretary in 1506 and his poet in title; and, by its order, it followed Louis XII in his forwardings of Gènes and of Venice, with mission express of celebrating them it is what it did in two poems entitled one Voyage from Genoa , the other Voyage from Venice , where the use of marvellous does not harm of anything historical exactitude.

Died Louis XII, it entered to the service of François Ier as servant of wardrobe, and gave to his Master a proof of attachment, by composing a poëme in which the Nobility, the Church and the Ploughing, i.e. the three orders, plead one after the other the cause of the king, who had just excited some dissatisfaction by new taxes.

Jean Marot is the father of the famous poet Clément Marot who became him also a large poet of the 16th century, protected from king de France, François the Ist very great reputation of his son harmed his much; but if it did not have of it the genius and joviality, it also had neither the license of it nor irreligion.

It appears certain that this name of Marot was only one nickname, and that it was called Jean Desmarets. One conjectures that he died in 1523, 60 years old.

two Epistles : one of the ladies of Paris to king François Ier being beyond mounts, after the defeat of Swiss the , and other D be same ladies with the courtiers of France being for at the time in Italy . There are in the latter of the features strong prickles, but a little cynical, against the charms of the Italian ladies. Large number of rondos, in love, Christian and different, among which one notices collection of twenty-four rondos, heading Doctrinal of princesses and noble ladies, which deals with all that can attract the regard and the love to them, since honesty until the beautiful maintenance and with the dress . Jean Marot has more judgment than of imagination; its language and its versification are still quite cruel. He makes rimer Hercules and Achille, kind and war; this fault appears inconceivable, since from time immemorial it is the consonance which constituted the rhyme. In spite of these defects, one still with pleasure reads it because of his naivety. It is expressed sometimes with force; its composition is supported; it has even a certain heat, and it excels in the choice of the various worms specific to the subjects which it covers.
