Ponce Denis Ecouchard LE BRUN (1729-1807) poet, known as Lebrun-Pindare. Autograph manuscript, Ode patriotique sur les divers événemens de la mémorable année 1792 depuis le 10 août, novembre 1792; title and 13pages in-4 in quire (slightly wet). Working manuscript of an important revolutionary poem. Composed in Auteuil, "on the nights of the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth of September", it comprises 24 stanzas, some of them highly corrected; the 1st stanza is presented in four versions. In particular, it evokes military triumphs over the enemies of the Fatherland and the victories of the revolutionary armies (a note states: "This ode was completed on the eve of the capture of Brussels. The poet was quite sure that his prediction would come true"), the end of royalty, and the destruction of royal tombs: "Purgeons le sol des Patriotes/ Par des Rois encore infecté./ La Terre de la Liberté/ Rejette les os des Despotes!/ De ces monstres divinisés/ Que tous les cercueils soient brisés!"...
