_Se._ Uno, mas toda via fueron yerros.
[301] Here the chorus, like the other characters of the play, speaks in
iambics; for example:--
_Doña Ines._ Que dizes? Habla!
_Cho._ No puedo; lloro.
_Do._ De que lloras?
_Cho._ Veo, esse rostro, y sos ojos, esa.
_D._ trista:
triste de mi que mal, que mal tamaño,
es ese que me traes.
_Cho._ Mal de muerte:
_D._ Mal grande.
_C._ todo tuyo.
_D._ que me dizes
es muerto mi Señor, infante mio?
_Cho._ Los dos morireys presto.
_D._ ò nuevas tristes!
Como, porque razon, que me le matan? &c.
[302] Only the latter part of this scene can conveniently be
transcribed here. Ines speaks:--
Tapiceria triste,
yrase donde yo me paseava,
no me vera, no me hallara en el campo,
no en el jardin, ni camara; hele muerto.
Ay veote morir mi bien por mi,
mi bien ya que yo muero vive tu,
esto te pido y ruego, vive, vive,
ampara estos tus hijos tan queridos,
y esta mi muerte pague los desastres
que a ellos esperavan. Rey señor,
pues puedes socorrer a males tantos
socorreme, perdoname. No puedo,
no puedo mas dezirte:
Señor por que me matas?
en que te lo merezco?
ay, no me mates, ay!
Jesus, Maria!
[303] _Libro de caballeria celestial del pie de la rosa fragrante,
&c. por D. Geronymo de Sanpedro. Anvers, 1554, in 8vo._ The Gottingen
university possesses a copy of this book.
[304] This phrase occurs in a preface which Venegas wrote to a moral
allegorical novel by Luis Mexia, which will hereafter be noticed.
[305] I have seen only the _Primera_ parte de las Patrañas de Juan
Timoneda, Sevilla, 1583, in 8vo.
[306] See Nicolas Antonio, article Alfonso de Ulloa.
[307] Nicolas Antonio does not mention the date of either his birth
or death. More precise information respecting him may be found in the
sixth vol. of the _Parnaso Español_.
[308] See p. 280.
[309] This dialogue, with the continuation by Ambrosio de Morales, and
other works of a similar kind, have been elegantly printed under the
general title of _Obras, que Cervantes de Salazar ha hecho, glosado y
traducido_, &c. Madrid, 1772, in 4to.
