Gresset (1709-1777), was a poet and dramatist, a teacher in Jesuit colleges, and made his name with the poem Ver-Vert (1734). This poem is a charming trifle about a pampered convent parrot, highly decorous and learned in religious phrases, who is invited to show his paces at another convent, but picks up some shocking language on the journey there and scandalizes the good nuns. - The Concise Oxford Dictionary of French Literature.

Provenance: From the collection of Kathryn Ida Rickard. With her Bookplate.
