Chant d'allegresse : povr l'entree de tres-chrestien, treshavlt, trespvissant, tresexcellent, tresmagnanime, & tresuictorieus prince Charles ix. de ce nom, roi de France, en sa ville de Troïe
A 1564 French ceremonial verse piece by Jean Passerat, published in Paris by Gabriel Buon, celebrating the royal entry of Charles IX into Troyes for a court and civic audience. The three pictures are a decorative woodcut initial O of interlaced foliage, a woodcut emblem of a bearded figure before a walled town with the motto Omnia mea mecum porto, and a marbled-paper endpaper with a monogram and the number 91 that is a library marking rather than part of the book. The foliage and the bearded emblem figure offer usable Renaissance woodcut ornament for period-styled design.
