Charles Coypeau d’Assoucy |
|||||||||
Charles Coypeau d’Assoucy or D’Assouci (October 16, 1604, Paris - October 29, 1677, Paris) was a French musician and burlesque poet.
His work and lifestyle were ridiculed by Boileau and defended by Cyrano de Bergerac.
Around 1640, he became Bergerac’s lover. They broke up in 1653, probably out of jealousy, and Bergerac sent him deaths threats that forced him to leave Paris. The feud also extended to a series of satirical texts by both men. Bergerac wrote Contre Soucidas (an anagram of his enemy’s name) and Contre un ingrat ("Against an Ungrateful Person"), while D’Assoucy counterattacked with Le Combat de Cyrano de Bergerac avec le singe de Brioché au bout du Pont-Neuf ("The Battle Between Cyrano de Bergerac and Brioché’s Monkey On the Pont-Neuf Bridge").
