Gutierre de Cetina (1518?–1554?)
Cetina, Gutierre de (chet-ē’nä or thā-tē’nä). A Spanish poet; born at Seville, early in the sixteenth century; died there (?), about 1554. He was a soldier, and served the Prince of Ascoli till the death of that patron, when he departed for Mexico. He spent some years in New Spain, returning to Seville shortly before he died. He chose to write in Italian measures and forms, though in the Spanish tongue. His sonnets, ballads, and epistles in terza rima, are graceful in expression, simple in form, and inspired by tender feeling.
