Note 4 — Chapter X
Reading edition
“Est animal rubrum, callidum, rapax, et vorax omnium benificiorum. Mazarin is a misfortune to the queen, her evil genius, consequently ours. I hate him as I do the devil, and hold him for what he is, morus nebule, a creature destitute of honour, a mime in a red hat, and a long-robed charlatan.”
Guy Patin.
