Excerpt from The Fables of Florian
Though he had exercised the office of gentleman-in-ordinary an almoner to the Duke de Penthievre, and had in that capacity ad ministered relief to the poor with great delicacy and benevolence yet when the revolution broke out he was accused of writing verse in honor of the queen, and hurried ofi to prison. He lived for time in momentary expectation of death; for his prison, that of L Bourbe, had come to be noted as the inevitable first step toward the scaffold. The death of Robespierre, however, restored him t liberty; but his imprisonment seemed to have left a melanchol shade upon his spirit that time never fully removed. He died 0 the 17th of September, 17 94, in the thirty-ninth year of his age.
