Argenso'la, LUPERCIO and BARTOLOMEO DE, poets, styled the 'Spanish Horaces,' were born in Aragon; the former in 1564, the latter in 1565. They held in succession the post of historiographer royal of Aragon; and both spent some years at the court of the viceroy of Naples. The elder brother died in 1613, the younger in 1631. Their collected poems, first published in 1634, consist of epistles, odes, sonnets, and satires, and are imitative of the style of the Latin poets. They also published historical works.
