Lupercio Leonardo de Argensola (1559–1613)

Leonardo de Argensola, Lupercio (är-Hen-sō’lä). A notable Spanish poet; born at Barbastro, Aragon, Dec. 14, 1559; died at Naples in March 1613. Brother of Bartolomeo Leonardo de Argensola. His three tragedies, ‘Isabella,’ ‘Alexandra,’ and ‘Phyllis,’ brought him fame while still a young man; but his forte was lyric poetry, in which he won distinction. Some of his ‘Sonnets’ are masterpieces; and his ‘Epistles,’ both in substance and form, are models of that species of composition.
