  As for Shakespeare, a hard-fought debate has emerged about Moli\`ere, a
supposedly uneducated actor who, according to some, could not have written the
masterpieces attributed to him. In the past decades, the century-old thesis
according to which Pierre Corneille would be their actual author has become
popular, mostly because of new works in computational linguistics. These
results are reassessed here through state-of-the-art attribution methods. We
study a corpus of comedies in verse by major authors of Moli\`ere and
Corneille's time. Analysis of lexicon, rhymes, word forms, affixes,
morphosyntactic sequences, and function words do not give any clue that another
author among the major playwrights of the time would have written the plays
signed under the name Moli\`ere.
