RESUMO
This research seeks to evince the wit, a rhetorical and poetic procedure, as the effect that specifies the Portuguese lyric poetry of the 1600s; on one hand, as an imitation of the old poetry; and, on the other hand, as a pattern of poetry that bears acute metaphors worded according to the wit and the coeval art of poetic discourse. The various poetic genres are then defined by their suavity and jocosity with which they render more intense the affections and common places that frame the conventions of the poetry of praise and vituperation, the weightiest genres of the lyric modes. The anthologies Fênix Renascida and Postilhão de Apolo form the poetic corpus of this thesis, and that does not blur the absence of other exemplary works. The thesis? main theoretical concepts are then defined by the reading of important poetic and rhetorical arts of the chosen period, which are precepts equally familiar to the discreet court audience of such poetry. The plain style of the lyric is presented in relation to the genre the poem fits under. The metaphor, the artifice of language most appropriate to the expression of the similarities found by the poet is here deemed as the eminent model of wit, as it favors the concepto, an image formed in the thought. The lyric poetry of the 1600s keeps as its main goal the delight of the interlocutor (the wonder) conditioned by a precise notion of decorum that vindicates the secondary aim of exemplum to the cult poetry of the Contra-reformation of the seventeenth century. Thus, the acute metaphor of the Portuguese poetry of the 1600s brings about the poetic action that mostly amplifies the notions of decorum and verisimilitude that the tradition of the lyric genre has embodied as poetry of imitation
