The satirical literary form pasquinade (or "pasquil") takes its name from this tradition. Over time, the 1606 pasquinade lapsed into obscurity, reduced to the popular proverb. The Menippean satire has been classed as a type of pasquinade. "Pasquinade" is the title of a piano solo piece by Louis Moreau Gottschalk. The earliest written attestation is an anonymous 1606 Latin pasquinade that begins, ""Regnum Polonorum est"". The author of the pasquinade is never discovered in spite of their high scrutiny.
