The Goatherd's Entertaining Tale.
The goatherd says he has fallen in love with a lovely young damsel named Leandra. He is not the only suitor, however, for a rival named Anselmo also wishes to marry the maiden. Unfortunately, Leandra allowed herself to be abducted by a boasting braggart who has turned her head with his dandyism and tales of heroic deeds in the army. When a search party finds Leandra, she is in a cave by the road, abandoned by her false lover, despoiled of all her material goods, though with her virtue intact. Leandra is shipped off to a nunnery by her doting father, while the two rivals, Eugenio and Anselmo, have become goatherds, cynical and mournful for the weaknesses of femininity.
