"Through the channel of Mr. Sancy advisor I am honored to write you this letter, and he kindly offered me his Champagne and I pray send me two baskets.

Illustrissimo Ecclesiae Principi Joanni-Francisco de la Cropte de Bourzac, Noviomensium episcopo et comiti, pari franciae, pro solemni urbem ingressu. Ode .
Unico mater viduata nato,
Bella quem dudum retinent morantem,
Anxia Divos prece, qua redonent,
Usque fatigat
Sic quibus Pastor datus es regendis,
Triste suspirant populi fideles,
Dum pio tete nimium recusas
Cernere amori
Longer si tandem, Pater ô ! tuorum
Vota non spernis, venias precamur,
Nos ames blando recreate vultu.
Optime praesul
En venis : Soles melius nitere ;
Civitas festo resonare cantu ;
Praesulem tantum sibi gratulando
Quisque superbit (…)
Joannes Horguelin
Canonicus Regularis
Gymnasiarchus Collegii.
