EL DIABLO COJUELO, Verdades Sonadas, y Novelas de la otra Vida, traducidas à estas por Luis de Guevera, 18mo, 4s. 6d. FOOTNOTES: [1] See the History of Spanish Literature, p. 12 and 17. [2] The Portuguese of former times never resigned the common denomination of Spaniards to the inhabitants of the Castilian monarchy. They invariably styled the Spaniards _Castelhanos_. Even in the late edition of the poems of Camões, that writer, who composed only a few trifles in Castilian verse, is distinguished by the title of _Principe dos Poetas de Hespanha_, (Prince of Spanish poets). [3] Detailed information concerning the settling of French knights in Portugal, under Henry of Burgundy, may be found in Manuel Faria y Sousa’s well known work:--_Europa Portuguesa_, v. i. p. 448. [4] See the History of Spanish Literature, p. 17. [5] Further information on this subject is contained in Manuel de Faria y Sousa’s _Europa Portuguesa_, vol. iii. p. 378, whence all these particulars are derived. [6] It is difficult to collect any sense from the words. Those who understand Portuguese may try their skill on the following specimen:-- Tinhe rabos nom tinhe rabos Tal a tal ca monta? Tinheradesme, nom tinheradesme, De là vinherasdes, de cà filharedes, Ca amabia tudo em soma. Per mil goyvos trebalhando Oy oy vos lombrego Algorem se cada folgança Asmey cu: porque do terrenho Nom ha hi tal perchego. The above fragment is contained in the _Europa Portuguesa_, vol. iii. p. 379.--Dieze has also printed it in his Remarks on Velasquez. [7] Two complete songs by Egaz Moniz are given in the work of Manuel de Faria y Sousa already mentioned, vol. iii. p. 380. One commences as follows:-- Bem satisfeita ficades Corpo doyro Alegrade a quem amardes, Que ei jà moyro. Ei bos rogo bos lembredes Ca bos quije A que dolos nom abedes Que bos fije. Cambastes a Pertigal Por Castilla A amade o mei mal Que dor me filha. [8] There is no poetry in the specimens quoted by Faria y Sousa. For example the following:-- A Juliam et Horpas a saa grei daminhos, Que em sembra cò os netos de Agar fornezinhos Huna atimarom prasmada fazanha, Ca Muza, et Zariph com basta campanha De juso da sina do Miramolino Com falsa infançom et Prestes maligno De Cepta aduxerom ao Solar Espanha. Et porque era força, adarve, et foçado Da Betica Almina, et o seu Casteval O Conde por Encha, et pro comunal Em tarra os encreos poyarom a Saagrado, El Gibaraltar, maguer que adordado, Et co compridouro per saa defensaõ, Pello susodeto sem algo de afaõ Presto foy delles entrado et filhado.
