The Moors, however, were soon reinforced, and returned in great numbers. The king was in danger of being surrounded, and twice owed his safety to the valor of Don Juan de Ribera, senior of Montemayor. The marques of Cadiz beheld from a distance the peril of his sovereign.
So down went "the longer poems" of Diana de Montemayor, the whole of Salmantino, with the Iberian Shepherd and the Nymphs of Henares.
She disclaimed all merit of invention, however, and said she had merely dilated into verse a popular tradition; and, indeed, I have since found the main facts inserted at the end of Conde's History of the Domination of the Arabs, and the story itself embodied in the form of an episode in the Diana of Montemayor.
'Los siete libres de la Diana de Jorge de Montemayor' the Spanish form of Montemôr's name and that by which he became familiar to subsequent ages appeared at Valencia, without date, but about 1560. As in the case of its Italian and Portuguese predecessors, some at least of the characters of the romance represent real persons.
It was, undoubtedly, Montemayor's romance which served as a model for, or rather suggested the character of, Sidney's work . Thus the chivalric element, unknown to Sannazzaro, is with Sidney even more prominent than with Montemayor and his followers.
The Two Gentlemen of Verona traces its origin, indeed, to the Diana of Montemayor; but all vestige of pastoral colouring has vanished, and Shakespeare may even have been himself ignorant of the parentage of the story he treated.
Fortunately for Carvajal, the viceroy was himself a prisoner when Montemayor returned to Lima.
The Spanish temperament was little fitted to the subdued, simple, and gentle tone of the proper elegy. The echoes of pastoral poetry in Spain are heard far back among the old ballads; but the Italian forms were early introduced and naturalized. Two Portuguese writers, Montemayor and Miranda, were most successful in this department of poetry.
In the ensuing discussion his vanquished opponent, Domingo de Guzman, intervened, and with unnecessary acerbity declared that Montemayor's views were heretical. Nothing would have been easier than for Luis de Leon to keep out of the fray, especially as he himself held, and had always taught, opinions opposed to those advanced by Montemayor.
