A Spanish poet; born at Linares; died about 1595. He was a friend of Cervantes, and a notable improvisator. He renounced the world in his old age and became a Carmelite friar (1585). His works consist of lyric and bucolic poems, satires, spiritual songs, and metrical romances: some of them, especially the eclogues, are among the best of their time. His poems were published under the titles: "Treasury of Various Poems" (1575); "Pastoral Eclogues" (1581); "Romances" (1583); "Spiritual Garden" (1585); "Grandeurs and Excellencies of the Virgin Our Lady" (1587).
