Charles Auguste de La Fare
Charles Auguste, marquis de La Fare (* 1644 in Valgorge Castle in Vivarais , † 1712 in Paris ) was a French poet .
La Fare distinguished himself in the campaigns of 1667 and 1674, became a friend of Marshal Henri de La Tour d'Auvergne, vicomte de Turenne , but had to give up his service as a result of his numerous love affairs and since then has led a life dedicated to enjoyment and indolence, whose joys he praised with brilliant wit and elegant verse.
His poésies include his light, natural poems and L'Opéra de Panthée , for which the Duke of Orléans composed the music. His Mémoires et réflexions , full of witty and apt descriptions of his epoch, were published with the Poésies (Amsterdam 1755, 2 volumes). His works were mostly printed together with those of Chaulieu .
