A Chilian poet; born in Confines, Araucania, about 1560; died in Lima about 1620. His great work "Arauco Domado" (Conquered Chili: 1596) consisted of nineteen cantos. It is said to be one of the finest of epic poems. A second edition appeared in 1605, and one in 1849. He also wrote a poem "The Lima Earthquake of the Year 1609"; several sonnets; and a heroic poem, "Ignacio de Cantabria" (1639).
