An Italian poet and gentleman; born at Florence in 1565; died in 1621. His pastoral "Daphne" was put to music and rendered with great success; and his second pastoral, "Eurydice", was represented at the marriage of Marie de' Medici and Henry IV., and published in 1600. A later lyric drama, "Ariadne at Naxos", is superior to his former productions. His poetry was collected and published in 1622.
