CHAPELAIN, Jean (1595–1647), an eminent French poet, born at Paris, and often mentioned in the works of Balzac, Ménage, and other learned men. He wrote several works, and distinguished himself by a heroic poem called *La Pucelle, ou France Deliverée*, which has been as much decried by some as it has been extolled by others.

Chapelaire translated the Spanish romance of *Guzmán d'Alfarache*, and wrote *Paraphrase sur le Misère*, 1636, 4to; several Odes; and *Mélanges de Littérature*, including *Mémoire de [sur] quelques gens vivants en 1662*, drawn up by order of Colbert.
