Henry IV. and then entered the See also:army, seeing some active service. Racan was very poor and was practically uneducated, for, if his own See also:account
may be credited, he had not learnt even Latin. But in See also:middle See also:life he inherited some See also:property, and he was thus able to devote himself to the practice of See also:poetry, in which he was the faithful, and perhaps the most distinguished, See also:disciple of See also:Malherbe. He had known Malherbe when he was a page at the court of Henry IV., and had See also:early contributed to the fashionable albums of the See also:day. In 1625 he published his most important See also:work, Bergeries, a dramatic See also:pastoral in five acts, a See also:part of which, entitled Arthenice, was played in 1618. Racan was also the author of See also:Sept psaumes (1631), Odes sacrees tirees See also:des psaumes de See also:David (1651), Dernieres oeuvres et poesies chretiennes (166o), in all of which he was hampered by his inability to read the sacred writings except in other French paraphrases. He was one of the See also:original members of the French See also:Academy. He died in See also:February 1670.
His fEuvres completes were edited by See also:Tenant de Latour in 1857, and the edition includes a See also:biographical See also:notice. See Sainte-Beuve, Causeries du lundi.
