POEMS BY LUIS DE ARGOTE Y GÓNGORA:

LUIS DE ARGOTE Y GÓNGORA was born at Córdoba; he was educated at the University of Salamanca and received a benefice in 1577. In 1613 he removed to Madrid and became chaplain to the King. He returned to Córdoba in ill health and died there. His reputation as a poet was already established in 1600 at the publication of the Romancero General. His earlier poems are free from affectations, but in his later style he adopted the affectations known as Marinism in Italy, Euphuism in England and Preciosité in France, in this way establishing in Spain the School of Gongorism which afflicted Spanish literature for many generations.
