encina

It has never been explained why Encina does not sag at that end, like an excursion steamer on the side toward a boat race.

Weinberg finds the origin of the Italian pastoral drama in the 'Éclogas' of Juan del Encina.

It is written in the manner of Encina, with less spontaneity, but with a sombre force to which Encina scarcely attained.

He may also have been influenced by Encina, most of whose work had already appeared.
