Note 115* — SECOND DISCOURSE
A. R. (Alfred Richard) Allinson translation
[115] P. 221:
◆It is not three but four S’s that the perfect lover must carry with him, according to Luis Barabona (Lagrimas de Angelica, canto IV.), and these four S’s mean:
SABIO, SOLO, SOLICITO ET SEGRETO.
These initial letters were much in vogue in Spain during the sixteenth century.
