Chapter CXVII

This, and the next letter, may belong to the same period as the preceding letter to Sir Robert Ker. "_Monte Magor_" is George de Montemayor, whose "Shepherdess Felismena," in the Spanish pastoral romance of "Diana," tells the same story as "The Two Gentlemen of Verona." A translation into English by Bartholomew Yonge was published in 1598, but Donne may have read it in the original.
