Baltasar del Alcázar (1530 - 1606), was a Spanish poet from Seville, Spain. His poetry was about life and love, most of it spiced with a keen sense of humor.

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 Inés, cured ham
and aubergines with cheese.)
