Synopsis
Excerpt from Oeuvres de Chamfort Et Rivarol
L'idée lui vint de endre part aux concours académiques. Il rem a le prix e poésie avec son É ître d'un pèreà son s, sur la naissance de son petit - Els; et une de ses pièces la Jeune Indienne, jouée avec succés à la Comédie Française acheva de le mettre en évidence. Les salons s'ouvrirent devant lui. Il fut recherché et choyé. Enfant de l'amour, beau comme lui, plein de feu et de gaieté, impi tueux et malin, studieux et espiègle, sa bonne mine lui valait des succés, qui, selon l'expression de Sainte - Hem, dérangeaient le bon ordre domestique. Madame de Craon disait de lui à ses intimes Vous ne voyez qu'un Adonis, et c'est un Hercule.
Mais, si fort qu'il fût, il s'usa à la besogne. Peu d' nées après, on le retrouve, pour ses péchés, aux eaux de Spa, aux eaux de Baréges, partout où Cupidon s'était mis au régime et buvait de l'eau.
