Góngora's "Fábula de Píramo y Tisbe" ("Fable of Pyramus and Thisbe") (1618) is a complex poem that mocks gossiping and avaricious women. Góngora also wrote sonnets concerning various subjects of an amatory, satirical, moral, philosophical, religious, controversial, laudatory, and funereal nature. As well as the usual topics ("carpe diem" etc.) the sonnets include autobiographical elements, describing, for example, the increasing decrepitude and advancing age of the author. In addition, Góngora composed one of his most ambitions works, "El Panegírico al Duque de Lerma" (1617), a poem in 79 royal octaves. Cervantes, after reading "El Panegírico", said: "the I most esteem from those I've read of his."
