Soldier as well as poet, he was a leader of the Huguenots in the wars that ended with the accession of Henry IV. After the assassination of Henry IV., his safety became more and more threatened in France, and he withdrew finally to Geneva. His main work is a long descriptive and narrative poem, but in many parts essentially lyrical, _les Tragiques_, a fierce picture of France in the civil wars. In his lyrics, which comprise _stances, odes_, and _élégies_, he is a follower of the tradition of Ronsard. Works: _Les Tragiques_, 1616; a recent edition is by L. Lalanne, 1857; also in the _Oeuvres complètes_, par MM. Reaume et de Caussade, 4 vols., 1873-77.

A man by no means of the poetic stature of Ronsard, du Bellay, and D'Aubigné; he found great favor in his day, but his lyric note was not powerful enough to endure long. He is most successful in the graceful expression of a natural melancholy, as in the example here given. He was a follower, in moderation, of the Pleiad. Works : _Recueil des oeuvres poétiques de J. Bertaut_, l601; appeared again enlarged in 1605 ; _Recueil de quelques vers amoureux_, 1602 : both collections are included in _Oeuvres poétiques_, 1620; a recent edition is edited by A.
