A satirical attack on Bonnie Prince Charlie, the "Young Chevalier", which reprints two French poems. The first, 'L'ode priapique' was originally written by Alexis Piron (1689-1773) in the early 18th century. The second, 'Epitre à Uranie', was an anti-religious poem by Voltaire written ca. 1722 under the title "Le pour et le contre". The association of the Jacobite prince with two pieces of mild smut and sacrilege was intended to blacken his name.
