Abstract This article deals with Constantijn Huygens’ selfpresentation in his First poetry volume Otia. It appears that the poetical portrait Een wijs Hoveling (A wise Courtier) is crucial in this publication. The vast poem was added in the last prepublication editing phase. The aim was twofold: there certainly were literary-compostional considerations, but also socially strategic ones. In highlighting the phenomenon of the courtier, Huygens underscores his social ambitions at the time of publication.
