Note 6 — Chapter VII · THE AGE OF CARLOS QUINTO 1516-1556
Reading edition
Garcilaso's forty-eight Latin stanzas, written after the Danubian imprisonment, are sufficiently unknown to justify a brief quotation here. They occur in Antonius Thylesius' Opera (Naples, 1762), pp. 128-129: Garcilassi di Vega Toletani ad Antonium Thylesium:—
"Uxore, natis, fratribus et solo Exul relictis, frigida per loca Musarum alumnus, barbarorum Ferre superbiam, et insolentes Mores coactus jam didici, et invia Per saxa voce in geminantia Fletusque, sub rauco querelas Murmure Danubii levare."
