Brief Summary:

Copy of ‘Mère des Héros et des Grâces’, a poem attributed to Voltaire and falsely dated 1760.

Detailed Summary:

The poem is introduced with a note reading: ‘M. de Voltaire, malade en 1760 à Charlottenburg envoya ces vers par un page que la reine mère lui avait envoyé pour savoir de ses nouvelles’. This is false as Voltaire was not at Charlottenburg at that time.
