[362] _Auto do Mouro Encantado_ (p. 347). Unless there was an earlier edition of _Lazarillo de Tormes_, this play must therefore have been written after 1554. Prestes’ _Auto do Procurador_ was written before 1557. [363] p. 262. For a corresponding knowledge of _Amadis de Gaula_, &c., among English servants see Dr. Henry Thomas, _The Palmerin Romances_, London, 1916, pp. 38-40. [364] _Alfea_ (ed. 1631), p. 59. The wonderful spelling is due to the printer (e.g. _sesse_ = cease) as well as to the peasants (e.g. _monteplica_ = multiply, _pialdrade_ = piety). [365] _Composto por A. D. S. R._ There is an earlier _Acto Sacramental da Jornada do Menino Deus para o Egypto_ (1746). [366] It contains a dispute between Maize and Rye, after the very popular fashion of the contention between Winter and Spring in Vicente’s _Auto dos Quatro Tempos_, and the poetical contrasts common in the Middle Ages and in the East, and still in vogue among the _improvisatori_ of Basque villages, between wine and water, boots and sandals, &c. [367] i.e. No. 3: _De hvm almotacel borracho_; No. 5: _Dos conselhos de hvm letrado_ (a _ratinho_ figures in this, as a _ratiño_ figures in No. 17); No. 6: _Do negro mais bem mandado_ (the _escudeiro’s moço_ is here a negro who speaks in broken Portuguese, e.g. Zesu); No. 11: _Dous cegos enganados_; No. 13: _Das padeiras de Lisboa_ (besides the bakeresses there is a _meleiro_ (honey-seller), an _alheiro_ with his _braços_ of leeks, an _azeiteiro_, &c.), and No. 25. The titles of these plays sufficiently show their homely character. [368] Of its author we only know that he was _Ulysbonense_. The play had many editions: 1747, 1758, 1789, 1853. [369] A priest of the same name wrote political and religious pamphlets in the middle of the nineteenth century. [370] The _affronta de Dio_ is mentioned. It may have been written in the same year as Ferreira de Vasconcellos’ _Eufrosina_. [371] In a letter sent with _Os Vilhalpandos_ to the Infante Duarte he says that _ninguem que eu saiba_ had so written in Portuguese. [372] _A comedia qual he tal va, aldeaã e mal atauiada._ [373] A passage in _Aulegrafia_ (1555?) describes the dramatic death of Antony as a new thing: _parece-me que o estou vendo_ (f. 129). [374] _Tragedia mvy sentida e elegante de Dona Inés de Castro ... Agora nouamente acrescentada_ (31 ff. unnumbered). The one who published _first_ was the most likely to be the thief. _Saudade_ is translated _soledad_. [375] _Nesta Universidade ... onde pouco antes se viram outras que a todas as dos antigas ou levam ou não dam ventagem._ _Bristo_ was written _por só seu desenfadamento em certos dias de ferias e ainda esses furtados ao estudo_. It is a _comedia mixta, a mor parte della motoria_. [376] In _El Rei Seleuco_ the doctor and in _Filodemo_ the shepherd and _bobo_ speak Spanish.
