Baltasar del Alcázar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baltasar del Alcázar (1530-1606), was a Spanish poet.
He was born and lived in Seville. His poetry was about live and love, most of it spiced with a keen sense of humour.
A short example of his poetry is Tres Cosas (Three Things):
Tres cosas me tienen preso
de amores el corazón.
La bella Inés, el jamón
y berenjenas con queso.
(Three things have caught my heart:
The pretty Ines, cured ham
and aubergines with cheese.)
