 | | His Deleitar aprovechando (1635) is a devout counterpart of the Cigarrales de Toledo, muchinferior to its predecessor in interest; a sequel was promised to this collection of pious tales, pious lyrics, and autos, but,as in the case of the Cigarrales de Toledo, the continuation never appeared. |
 | | As a tribute to thecount de Sastago, who had accepted the dedication of the fourth part of the plays, and who had probably helped to defray thepublishing expenses, Tirso de Molina is said to have compiled the Genealogía de la casa de Sastago (1640), but theascription of this genealogical work is disputed. |
 | | Tirso de Molina has neither Lope de Vega's inventive resource, nor his infinite seduction; he has neither Calderón 's idealistic visions, nor his golden music;but he exceeds Lope in massive intellectual power and in artistic self-restraint, and he exceeds Calderón in humour, in creativefaculty, and in dramatic intuition. |
