A Spanish poet and musician (1551-1634). He was in great favor in society from his musical talent, and among poets for inventing a new form of stanza. His "Rhymes" were published in 1591. He wrote a picturesque romance, "Life of the Esquire Marcos de Obregon", from which Le Sage was accused of plagiarizing "Gil Blas".
