Satire can be said to be timeless, as it is present at any time and in any genre. In the mixed-forms poem analyzed in this article, the satire is directed at a courtier who, upon his return from Spain to Portugal, is wearing an enormous cap, which provokes ridicule and scorn from other courtiers. The poem criticizes not only a person, but also the mores. As a poetic form, it begins with a ‘vilancete’ followed by ‘trovas’ and ends with a ‘cantiga’. The unfortunate Lopo de Souza will hear more than thirty contemporary poets sucking on verses from his disproportionate cap, which, in addition to being too large, has velvet for its cloth, which does not suit the season of the year, summer. The poem is rich in structural devices such as meter, rhyme, ‘pés quebrados’ and rhythm; it is also rich in rhetorical resources, as can be seen in this article.
