Abstract. The author considers the early period of Joachim Du Bellay’s creativity (1522-1560). In 1553 Joachim Du Bellay paid critical attention to his first poetic experiments. Love chanting of a lady in the first sonnet cycle "Olive" of 1549 gave way to the court glorification of a high-ranking patroness in "Selected Poems". Rivalry between two poetic forms - sonnet and ode – seemed to lead to the triumph of the latter, altisonant love rhetoric was replaced by an average style typical of Horace ode. Finally, the aesthetic searching of the author of the Pleiades manifesto was supplemented by reflections about a poet’s ethos.
