biography

François de Cauvigny de Colomby was a relative of Malherbe, who taught him to make poems; Hey said to him "that he had a good spirit, but that he did could not write poems". In spite of the mediocrity of his talent, he was welcomed at the Hotel de Rambouillet and succeeded in court, where he had himself created the job of "speaker of the king for state speeches", a job that does not did not exist before him and was removed at his death. This sinecure brought him twelve hundred crowns of pension. At the end of his career, he took the ecclesiastical habit, without becoming a priest, renouncing the world and no longer appearing at the assemblies of the French Academy, of which he was one of the first members.

"He was tall, and very powerful," writes Paul Pellisson, in an ambitious mood, and concerted in all his actions. There are various pieces of it, including a Speech of Consolation, published in the collections of time. His main title is a poem about The Complaints of Captive Caliston to the invincible Aristarchus, written with ease and not without enthusiasm. In prose, his translation of the History of Justin was long considered before falling into oblivion.
