CHAPTER IX

.

JASMIN'S 'FRANCONNETTE.'.
Jasmin published no further poems for three or four years.

His time was taken up with his trade and his philanthropic missions.

Besides, he did not compose with rapidity; he elaborated his poems by degrees; he arranged the plot of his story, and then he clothed it with poetical words and images.

While he walked and journeyed from place to place, he was dreaming and thinking of his next dramatic poem--his Franconnette, which many of his critics regard as his masterpiece.
Like most of his previous poems, Jasmin wrote Franconnette in the Gascon dialect.
