ResumoThe essay provides the critical edition of a poem by Châtelard, one of the poets of Mary Stuart's entourage who is nowadays considered as minor. No doubt his name is now known, especially by historians, because of his guilty behaviour towards the queen and his subsequent beheading in 1563. Instead, his poetry is almost completely unknown, owing to the impossibility of reading it. As a matter of fact, the only collection written by Châtelard has disappeared, after having been owned by Mary Stuart herself. The poetical text here published comes from the Additions to Michel de Castelnau's Mémoires written by Jean Le Laboureur (1659). In the essay it is argued that such a text is not the one really written by Châtelard because of linguistic inconsistency. Instead a more ancient version of such verses might be one of the poems given as anonymous in the Pléiade edition of Brantome's works, which is here attributed to Châtelard himself. The identification is the result of the comparison of these two poems with another one attributed to the poet by French scholars in the xixth century, which consists in another version on the same poem, but whose text was just quoted, and not published thoroughly.
