Rodrigues Lobo, Francisco

Rodrigues Lobo, Francisco

▪ Portuguese poet
born 1580, Leiria, Port.
died November 1621, Portugal

      pastoral poet, known as the Portuguese Theocritus, after the ancient Greek originator of that poetic genre.

      Rodrigues Lobo received a degree in law at Coimbra and then entered the service of the Duke of Braganza. His first book of poems, Romances (1596), written in the Baroque manner of the Spanish poet Luis de Góngora y Argote, reveals a refined sensibility and skill in describing the moods of nature. Most of the 61 poems are in Spanish, a second language for Portuguese writers until the end of the 17th century.

      Rodrigues Lobo's best works are the eclogues interpolated in his trilogy of pastoral novels, Primavera (1601; “Spring”), O Pastor Peregrino (1608; “The Wandering Shepherd”), and O Desencantado (1614; “The Disenchanted”). These poems combine pleasing descriptions of the countryside of his native region with witty dialogues between shepherds and shepherdesses on the wiles of love. His most masterful works in prose are the lively and elegant dialogues Côrte na Aldeia (1619; “Village Court”), in which a young noble, a student, a wealthy gentleman, and a man of letters discuss manners, philosophy, social questions, and especially literary style. Rodrigues Lobo was accidentally drowned on a voyage on the Tagus River.
