It would be nice to know the full titles and dates of these
two.  Apparently the _Vocabula Amatoria_ does not let us know.

WorldCat has "about 96" listings of titles containing the words
"Parnasse Satyrique", ranging probably from the 15th siecle to the
19th.  Not much help!

WorldCat has *no* listings for titles containing the words "Chanson
anonyme modern".  Even less help!
