An analysis of a sonnet, inserted in Luis Gálvez de Montalvo’s El pastor de Fílida (1582), performed according to 16th century rhetorical theory shows: first, that the poem develops an idea expressed in a maxim of Biblical origin, and that the ideas of love and fear expressed in the sonnet are supported by those of a Post-Tridentine Biblical Humanist tradition (inventio); second, that the composition of the poem follows the structure of a syllogism (dispositio); and third, that some of the stylistic traits displayed in the sonnet emulate the poetry of Garcilaso de la Vega (elucutio).
