Castello Branco as of the Bishop of Grão-Para in the _Memorias_ (1868), which he was the first to publish. FOOTNOTES: [629] _Lettere Familiari_, No. 30. [630] Or _Arcadia Lusitana_. For a list of its members see T. Braga, _A Arcadia Lusitana_ (1899), pp. 210-29; for its statutes, ibid., pp. 189-205. [631] Debt might seem a more probable cause, were it not for the apparent rigour of his confinement. [632] _A sua alma conversava com Bernardes e Ferreira_, says his friend Tolentino, who advises another _cabelleireiro_ poet to cease writing verses, since _vale mais que cem sonetos a peior penteadura_. The _Arte de Furtar_ mentions a barber who sank still lower, since he left his profession in order to cut purses. The modern writer Antonio Francisco Barata (1836-1910) likewise began life as a poor hairdresser at Coimbra. [633] Cf. _Ecloga_ 1. Dorindo to Alcino (_Alcino Mycenio_ was Quita’s Arcadian name): E tu és dos pastores mais famosos No cantar de improviso o verso brando. [634] i. e. the military governor of a district, with rank next to that of _Capitão Môr_. [635] This Arcadian name was given to him by the Marquesa de Alorna, although he did not properly belong to the _Arcadia_, being, like Tolentino, one of the _dissidentes_. [636] = fishwife; literally ‘woman of Ovar’, a small sea-town between Aveiro and Oporto. [637] Sá do Miranda, he says, _em quem das doces quintilhas Sómente a rima aprendi.... Falta-me arte e natureza, Mas pude delle imitar A verdadeira singeleza._ [638] The sky is _a estellifera morada_ (the starry abode), birds _o plumoso aereo bando_, bees _mordazes enxames voadores_, &c. [639] Menéndez y Pelayo (_Antología_, tom. xiii (1908), p. 377) calls him _el poeta de más condiciones nativas que ha producido Portugal después de Camoens_, ‘the most indigenous Portuguese poet since Camões’, and elsewhere gives the highest praise to his sonnets. [640] His modern editor, Visconde (Julio) de Castilho, has shown that the additional surname de Vasconcellos was bestowed on him gratuitously. [641] The _Couvade_ (ii. 62) is also described by Henrique Diaz, _Naufragio da Nao S. Paulo_, 1904 ed., p. 25, and Pero de Magalhães Gandavo, _Historia da Provincia Sancta Cruz_ (1576), cap. 10. [642] His works in the _Dicc. Bibliog._ go from J. 2163 to J. 2475. Many are, however, single odes, sermons, &c. Other eighteenth-century sermons worth reading are those of the learned Franciscan Frei Sebastião de Santo Antonio: _Sermões_, 2 vols. (1779, 84). [643] Superficially, at least, more than Manuel Caetano de Sousa (1658-1734) he deserves to be called a _varão encyclopedico_.
