To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nevertheless Spanish poetry found, and continued to find, an occasional reader in England. This is clear from Ascham's condemnation in The School- master of Gonzalo Perez' incomplete blank verse rendering of the Odyssey, and from Abraham Fraunce's quotations from Garcilaso and his ally Boscan in the Arcadian Rhetorike, y published some twenty-five years after Googe's Eglogs. Fraunce, who was unkindly described by Ben Jonson as a fool, attempted no renderings from the Spanish poets. Perhaps this... is no great loss, for his manifest prefer- ence for Boscan over Garcilaso leaves an unfavourable impression of his taste, judgement, and general qualifications ; and yet we should willingly exchange the superfluous versions of the everlasting Guevara by Hellowes and Sir Geoffrey Fenton for a few translations of Spanish lyrics. These are not forthcoming. The well-meaning, mediocre Googe reappears in 1579 with a rendering of Santillana's (Proverbios ; so far as concerns us, he then vanishes, and, if it were not for Sir Philip Sidney's translations of two songs from Montemor's Diana, we might search in vain for any trace of Spanish lyric poetry in Elizabethan literature.
