Jean de La Fontaine
Jean de La Fontaine, baptized on July 8, 1621 in the Saint-Crépin-hors-les-murs church in Château-Thierry and died on April 13, 1695 in Paris, is a man of letters of the Great Century and one of the main representatives of French classicism. In addition to his Fables and Contes libertines, which established his fame in the 1660s, we owe him various poems, plays and opera librettos which confirm his ambition as a moralist.

THE TALES AND NOVELS OF J. DE LA FONTAINE
Volume 3.
Contains:
The Muleteer
The Servant Girl Justified
The Three Gossips' Wager
THE MULETEER
THE Lombard princes oft pervade my mind;
The present tale Boccace relates you'll find;
Agiluf was the noble monarch's name;
Teudelingua he married, beauteous dame,
The last king's widow, who had left no heir,
And whose dominions proved our prince's share.
No Beauty round compare could with the queen;
And ev'ry blessing on the
