Philip III., published in 1623, are written in See also:Spanish, he composed his eclogues and See also:prose pastorals entirely in Portuguese, and thereby did a rare service to his See also:country at a time when, owing to the Spanish domination, Castilian was the See also:language preferred by polite society and by men of letters. His Primavera, a book that may be compared to the See also:Diana of Jorge de Montemor• (See also:Montemayor), appeared in 16o1, its second See also:part, the Pastor Peregrine, in 16o8, and its third, the Desenganado,

His eclogues in endecasyllables are an See also:echo of those of See also:Camoens, but like his other verses they are inferior to his redondilhas, which show the traditional fount of his See also:inspiration.

A See also:disciple of the See also:Italian school, his verses are yet See also:free from imitations of classical See also:models, his descriptions of natural scenery are unsurpassed in the Portuguese language, and generally his writings strike a true See also:note and show a sincerity that was rare at the time.

An edition of his collected See also:works was published in one volume in Lisbon in 1723, and another in four volumes, but less See also:complete, appeared there in 1774.
