[242] _Mas ja não auto bofé Como os autos que fazia Quando elle tinha com que_ (_Auto Pastoril Portugues_, i. 129). [243] _Antología_, vii, p. clxvi. It should be said that Dr. Theophilo Braga, the late General Brito Rebello, and the late Dr. F. A. Coelho agree with Menéndez y Pelayo. Dr. Theophilo Braga even declares that he can prove an alibi. D. Carolina Michaëlis de Vasconcellos opposed identity in 1894, and has not definitely expressed herself in its favour since. On the other hand, Snr. Braamcamp Freire is a convinced supporter of identifying poet and goldsmith. [244] _Antología_, vii, p. clxxvi. [245] And later Jeronimo Corrêa (†1660) at Lisbon, author of _Daphne e Apollo_ (Lisboa, 1624) and other prosaic verses, Xavier de Novaes (1820-69) at Oporto, and others. Perhaps the gold-beater of Seville, Lope de Rueda (1510?-65), whose _pasos_ are akin to Vicente’s _farsas_, was fired by his example and success. [246] _Dialogo em lovvor de nossa linguagem_, 1785 ed., p. 222. [247] Registers of the Chancellery of King Manuel (vol. xlii, f. 20 v.) in the Torre do Tombo, Lisbon. [248] Cf. _Cancionero_, f. lxxxvi v. [249] An effective instance of a line shortened by emotion. The long pause on _tardas_ in _Oo morte que tardas, quien te detien?_ is equally impressive, but the 1562 ed. has _de quien_ and Vicente may have written _Oo morte que tardas, di ¿quien te detien?_ [250] _Auto de Inés Pereira_ in the 1562 ed. So _Auto dos Almocreves_. It will, however, be convenient to call them _farsas_, since _auto_ is a more general term applicable to all the plays. [251] _Quem tem farelos?_ [252] _O Juiz da Beira_, a continuation suggested by the success of the _Farsa de Inés Pereira_ and acted at Almeirim in 1525. [253] _Farsa dos Almocreves_ (or _do Fidalgo Pobre_) acted at Coimbra (1525). It is curious to compare the sterner type of chaplain denounced in _Don Quixote_. [254] _Auto das Fadas_ (1511). [255] _Auto da Lusitania_ (1532) acted in honour of the birth of Prince Manuel (1531). [256] _Farsa dos Fisicos_ (1512). [257] _O Clerigo da Beira_ (1529?). [258] _Auto da India_ (1509). [259] _Farsa das Ciganas_ (or, in the 1562 edition. _Auto de hũas ciganas_), a very slight sketch acted in a _seram_ before the king at Evora (1521). [260] _O Velho da Horta_ (1513). [261] _Auto da Fama_ (Lisbon). Its date has been given as 1510, but internal evidence shows that it is later, probably 1515 or 1516 (although perhaps prior to the knowledge of Albuquerque’s death in India (December 16, 1515) since so splendid a paean in honour of the Portuguese victories would be out of place afterwards). [262] = labourer from Beira. He figures in comedy as the slow-witted (or malicious) clod-hopper, to the delight of an urban audience. [263] In the palace (at Lisbon, Almeirim, Evora) or in convents (Enxobregas, Thomar, Odivellas), once (as part of a procession) in a church (_Auto de S. Martinho_). [264]
