Une representation a l'hotel de Bourgogne (en 1640). La salle du theatre se remplit: on va y donner une pastorale, la Clorise, dans le genre precieux. Le jeune et beau Christian de Neuvillette y vient contempler la femme qu'il aime: Roxane, une precieuse epouvantablement ravissante a qui le comte de Guiche fait la cour.
