Floram Marchand - le grand boyer de Tours. See here the pourtraict of this man of Tours/ Who from him wine in such abundance powers/ His art and reasons here are published/ What makes this glass look white and that so red/ And all the progress of the works display'd/ The whole deceit is here now open laid...
