   Spanish poet Gongora y Argote (1561-1627), among others of
   his time, was noted.

         Gongorism, that curious disease of euphuism, that broke
         out simultaneously in Italy, England, and Spain. --The

         The Renaissance riots itself away in Marinism,
         Gongorism, Euphuism, and the affectations of the
