Note 886 — Chapter XXIX

“El Perfeto Señor, Poesías Varias,” etc., Madrid, 1652, 4to. He wrote silvas darker than Góngora’s “Soledades.” His madrigals and shorter poems are more intelligible, though none are good. He was a Portuguese by birth, but lived in Madrid, where he died after 1656. (Barbosa, Tom. I. p. 310.) There are two editions of his works.
