(Stephen), lord of Limodin, was born at Paris in 1532; and distinguished himself so greatly by his poetical talents, that he was reckoned one of the Pleiades celebrated by Ronfard. He is said to be the first Frenchman who wrote plays in his own language according to the ancient form. He was remarkably ready at composition, writing without study or labour; and was well skilled in polite arts and genteel exercises. In his younger years he embraced the reformed religion, and wrote a satire on the mass in 100 Latin verses; yet all of a sudden returned to that mass again. He died in 1579, very poor.
