The quotation, 'Le bruit est pour le fat, la plainte pour le sot / L'honnête homme trompe s'éloigne et ne dit mot" was identified by the Chief Librarian at the Bibliothèque Nationale as being from, La Coquette Corrigée, a 1756 comedy by de la Noue. It was quoted, with identification in George Otto Trevelyan's Life and Letters of Lord Macaulay (1876).
