Note M — Chapter IV · FROM THE ARGENSÓLAS AND OTHER POETS TO GONGÓRA.
Jeremiah Holmes Wiffen translation
"Spanish Anacreon! none your Highness meets, But says most courteously, that though your lines Move elegiacally sad, your sweets Have all the tasty syrup of new wines! They say that they should like to see each song With scrupulous exactness, for a freak, Translated well into Anacreon's tongue, Your honest eyes not having seen the Greek." Góngora. "Although he said that all would hide from shame, When the fine splendours of his genius came." Lope.
