De Gedichten by P. C. Hooft
A compact collection of refined lyric poetry from the Dutch Renaissance that blends classical references and Italianate form with intimate meditations on love, nature, time and virtue; the poems range from elegant sonnets and odes to playful and pastoral pieces, all marked by rhetorical polish, learned allusion and a tension between sensual feeling and moral reflection, and together they helped shape a cultured, courtly voice in the emerging national literature.
