BOURBON, Nicholas, a celebrated Greek and Latin poet, was nephew to the preceding. He taught rhetoric in several colleges of Paris; and the Cardinal de Perron caused him to be nominated professor of eloquence in the Royal College. He was also canon of Langres, and one of the forty of the French academy. At length he retired to the fathers of the oratory, where he died in 1644, aged seventy. He is esteemed as one of the greatest Latin poets France has produced. His poems were printed at Paris in 1630.
