» In the Lutrin, chant V, Boileau makes a satirical allusion to the Artamene ou le Grand Cyrus of M^^^ ^q Scu- dery : « Le Veillaid, accable de 1" horrible Artamene. » Pradon feels called upon to rush to the defense of such a popular idol : « Get horrible Artamene a ete traduit dans toutes les langues, meme en arabe ; sa lecture fait les dehces de la cour ; il a fait gagner cent miUe ecus a Courbe ; quand les ceuvres de Boileau en auront fait autant a Barbin, on souf- frira sa critique un peu p...lus tranquillement ; mais il y a encore du chemin a fane j usque-la ».
From his friends Pradon received httle outward expression of their support. The great personages whose protection he sought were content to let him carry on alone his literary battle. The writers who held ideas in common with liim, assail- ed on their part by Boileau and all the admhers of the ancients, were too busy defending themselves or too fearful of adding to the stream of abuse from Parnassus to attempt to justify him.
