Isaac de Benserade was born in Lyons-la-Forêt, France. He was a French poet. His family appears to have been connected with Richelieu, who bestowed on him a pension of 600 livres. He began his literary career with the tragedy of Cléopâtre, which was followed by four other pieces. On Richelieu's death Benserade lost his pension, but became more and more a favourite at court, especially with Anne of Austria. His works include: Iphis et Iante, Méléagre, Le Sonnet de Job, Ballet de la Nuit, Les Plaisirs de l'île enchantée, Ballet royal de Flore, Fables d'Ésope en quatrains, and Labyrinte de Versailles.
