Maynard, François

    0.01 sec.

Maynard, François (1582–1646)

French poet. A favourite disciple of Malherbe, he was secretary to Marguerite de Valois and then magistrate in Aurillac. He was an original member of the French Academy. He generally sacrificed vigour to laborious correctness in his poems. His epigrams are his best work, but some of his odes are notable, including La Belle Vieille and Alcippe.
