One of this author's poetry collections ends with him asking his own poems, "Do you hope, my poems, that posterity will read you forever?" That poetry collection was translated into English by Edmund Spenser, as part of his "complaints." This author of the satirical The Courtesan Poet wrote a work drawing on Dorat to suggest the use of classical quotation to improve the title entity. In addition to writing The Antiquities of Rome, another of this author's poetry collections contains his "Patriae Desiderium" and encourages one of his friends to complete his epic The (*) Franciad. For 10 points, name this French author of a bunch of elegies, who wrote the Defense and Illustration of the French Language, which laid out the principles of a group led by Pierre de Ronsard, La Pleiade.
