Il pastor fido in lingua napolitana by Battista Guarini
"Il pastor fido in lingua napolitana" by Domenico Basile is a dramatic play written in the early 17th century. The work likely revolves around themes of romance, pastoral life, and the struggles of love, typical for the period it represents. The characters appear to include shepherds and nymphs, reflecting a blend of rural life and mythological elements. The opening portion of the play introduces several characters engaged in lively exchanges that set
the tone for the unfolding drama. Siruio and Linco discuss their hunting plans and feelings about love, demonstrating a mix of bravado and apprehension. Meanwhile, Mertillo laments his heartache over Amarille, revealing their romantic entanglements amidst the backdrop of the pastoral setting. The dialogue is rich in regional dialect, which adds authenticity and flavor to the characters’ expressions of desire and emotional turmoil, laying the groundwork for the romantic conflicts that will likely develop throughout the play.
