Note 295 — III The Sixteenth Century [1502-80]
Reading edition
Cf. the balho vylam ou mourisco which cost Abul his gold chain in the Cancioneiro Geral, and Lopo de Almeida’s third letter, from Naples: Mandaram bailar meu sobrinho com Beatriz Lopez o baylo mourisco e despois o vilão. A century after Vicente the shepherds’ dances are but a memory: as danças e bailios antigamente tão usados entre os pastores (Faria e Sousa, Europa Portuguesa, vol. iii, pt. 4).
