"That is true," said Vivaldo; and as he was about to read another paper of those he had preserved from the fire, he was stopped by a marvellous vision (for such it seemed) that unexpectedly presented itself to their eyes; for on the summit of the rock where they were digging the grave there appeared the shepherdess Marcela, so beautiful that her beauty exceeded its reputation.
-Así es la verdad -respondió Vivaldo. Y, queriendo leer otro papel de los que había reservado del fuego, lo estorbó una maravillosa visión -que tal parecía ella- que improvisamente se les ofreció a los ojos; y fue que, por cima de la peña donde se cavaba la sepultura, pareció la pastora Marcela, tan hermosa que pasaba a su fama su hermosura.
