Theophile, the French poet, dedicated a book to James I. of England,
in the hope of being personally introduced to that monarch, but being
disappointed in this expectation he wrote the following lines on the
subject:--
"Si Jacques Roi de grand savoir
N'a pas trouvé bon de me voir,
En voici la cause infallible;
C'est que ravi de mon ecrit
Il cout que j'etois tout esprit
Et par consequent invisible."
