-
A Spanish poet of the first half of the seventeenth century. His most celebrated poems are a translation of the "Faithful Shepherd" (1602) of Guarini, and "Constant Amaryllis" (1609). He wrote a history of "The Deeds of Don Garcia Hurtado de Mendoza" (1613) in the wars with the Araucanians, interesting but written in an inflated style; also an epic, "Spain Defended" (1612).
