Note 192 — FIRST SECTION. History of Spanish Poetry and Eloquence, from the Introduction of the Italian Style to the Age of Cervantes and Lope de Vega.

These Spanish pastoral poems are mingled indiscriminately with the Portuguese poems of the same author, in the neatly printed edition of the Obras do Doctor Francisco de Sà de Miranda, Lisboa, 1784, in 2 vols. 8vo. No attention has been paid to the correction of the Spanish poems in this collection, and Portuguese words continually occur in them; for example, as for las, pensamentos for pensamientos, outro for otro, &c. The orthography of the title-page is uncommon; for in other cases the Portuguese spelling is not doctor, but doutor, and Sà is a modern substitution for Saa.
