Note 225 — CHAP. II. HISTORY OF PORTUGUESE POETRY AND ELOQUENCE FROM THE EPOCH OF THE INTRODUCTION OF THE ITALIAN STYLE, TILL TOWARDS THE END OF THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY. (continued 3)

Thomasina Ross translation

The word desenganado (in Spanish desengañado) is not so happy an expression as the English disenchanted, or the German entzauberte. It is the word commonly used to designate one who is no longer enamoured. The Desengaño (the disenchantment in affairs of love) is also employed by the Spanish poets as an allegorical character.
