" '^ Yet Desportes even supasses Ronsard in the matter of versification. He is the first we have met to observe constantly in his sonnets the rule demanding a change of gender with a change of rhyme, and, although he sometimes rhymes a singular with a plural (as in Sonnet XLVIII to Cleonice — contraire, miseres, and in Book II, Sonnet VI to Diane — ainsi, soucis), one feels that the time of Malherbe is near at hand. One of the best known sonnets of Desportes is the one begin- ning * * Icare est... cheut icy, le ieune audacieux, ' ' but as it is trans- lated almost word for word from Sannazaro's ^' Icaro cadde qui : queste onde it sa?ino, '' it need not be quoted here.
