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 life 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.)
