The traveller answered that the same morning they had met these shepherds, and seeing them dressed in this mournful fashion they had asked them the reason of their appearing in such a guise; which one of them gave, describing the strange behaviour and beauty of a shepherdess called Marcela, and the loves of many who courted her, together with the death of that Chrysostom to whose burial they were going.
El caminante dijo que aquella madrugada habían encontrado con aquellos pastores, y que, por haberles visto en aquel tan triste traje, les habían preguntado la ocasión por que iban de aquella manera; que uno dellos se lo contó, contando la estrañeza y hermosura de una pastora llamada Marcela, y los amores de muchos que la recuestaban, con la muerte de aquel Grisóstomo a cuyo entierro iban.
