“Síguese la comedia o tragicomedia de Calisto y Melibea, compuesta en reprehension de los locos enamorados, que, vencidos en su desordenado apetito, a sus amigas llaman y dizen ser su Dios. Assi mesmo fecha en auiso de los engaños de las alcahuetas y malos y lisonjeros siruientes.” |
“There follows now the Play [or Tragicomedy] of Calisto and Melibea, composed as a reprimand to wild lovers, who, overcome by their excessive appetite, call their ladies god. The play will also serve as a warning against the wiles of go-betweens and bad and flattering servants.” (M. Singleton) |
