Let him go on; he has a good voice. STRANGER. I who a youthful goatherd am, A pleasant life I lead: A careless child of the mountain wild, A pleasant life indeed! I from afar the town behold. And never to this hour Have seen, save from afar, the gold Of the cathedral's tower. 51 All the fair maidens love I well, Within the vallies near; But more than all who there do dwell, I love my sister dear: Doloris, purest of the pure, And fairest of the fair, Who under those old cedars lies. Beneath the ...green turf there! Alas, my life is nought but tears — My woes I cannot bearl DIEGO. What does the man mean by this strange medley? His sister whom he loves as alive, and bewails as dead, at the same time ! His pleasant life on the mountain, and immediately after, his life dissolved in tears! Her- mosa, his voice is clear, but his head is decidedly muddy. LA HERMOSA. Heavens! I have heard of a certain Doloris, whose brother — DIEGO. Hermosa, you are too compassionate, indeed. Let this adventurer sing the song of our country, or let him go drain the cup of tears with Satan!
