An ardent romanticist he collaborated with Auguste Barthélemy in many of his satires and wrote a great number of stories now forgotten. Nowadays he is perhaps best remembered as the co-librettist of the original version in French of Verdi's Don Carlos which premiered in Paris in March 1867. Also he was the author of the play La Bataille de Toulouse which Verdi had earlier adapted for his opera La battaglia di Legnano in January 1849. He was noted in his time for his wit and ability to improvise. He produced several pieces at the Paris theatres and also collaborated with Gérard de Nerval in adaptations from Shakespeare and in other plays. Alexandre Dumas père in 1864 invited all the poets of France to display their skill by composing to sets of Bouts-Rimés selected for the purpose by Joseph Méry. Later in life Méry received a pension from Napoleon III. Arnauld de Vresse, Editeur hardcover
