Biography
Biography
Like his father, he wrote poetry (Les Muses coquettes, 1659[1]; Noëls nouveaux, 1660; Les Tracas de Paris, 1666), but he appears to have been inferior to his father. It is this second Colletet who is mocked by Nicolas Boileau-Despréaux and Gédéon Tallemant des Réaux. He served as an agent in the service of Cardinal Mazarin.
