Note I — Chapter III · FROM GARCILASSO TO THE ARGENSÓLAS.
Jeremiah Holmes Wiffen translation
The meaning of this term will be fully understood by the English reader, when he is reminded of the style of writing which was prevalent in the time of Elizabeth, under the name of Euphuism; rich specimens whereof are exhibited by the author of Waverley, in the delectable speeches of sir Piercie Shafton.
