Francisco de Medrano
Francisco de Medrano (*Seville, 1570 - ibidem, 1607) was a Spanish poet. He entered the Society of Jesus and was ordained a priest in 1594.[1] He abandoned the order in 1602. His poetry was influenced by works of Horace and Torquato Tasso. He wrote chiefly sonnets.[2] His poems were published posthumously in Palermo in 1617 by his friend Pedro Venegas de Saavedra.
Translations
Two sonnets by Francisco de Medrano were translated into English by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. They are Art and Nature and The Two Harvests.[3]
