El letrado preso de amor.

Cancion.

Man sitting on a throne between goddesses and an armed man.
[Click on image to enlarge]

Cautivo està el letrado,
Que estudioso ante era,
D’el amor de Heliodora y de su gracia,
Y està tan lastimado,
Que no amò en tal manera
A su cuñada aquel gran rey de Thraçia.[1]  [M]
No basta la desgraçia
Di Venus, de la Pallas que vencida
Sin sello aora, fue en el monte Ida?[2]

[Marginalia - link to text]Tereo à Philomela.

Notes:

1.  The story of Tereus who lusted after his wife’s sister. See [A49a187] n.2.

2.  ‘on the slopes of Ida’, a reference to the ‘judgement of Paris’, when Paris, a shepherd on Mount Ida in Asia Minor, was chosen to arbitrate in a contest of beauty and awarded the ‘apple of beauty’ or ‘discord’ to Venus (the Cyprian goddess), who thus defeated the other two contenders, Hera (the queen of the gods) and Pallas Athene (goddess of learning).
N.B. The final question mark is editorial.
