History of Lovers

  

In Teruel a young man named Juan Martínez de Marcilla fell in love with Segura, daughter of Pedro Segura. The father had no other daughter and was very rich. The young people loved each other so much that they spoke to each other. The young man told him that he wanted to take her for his wife, she replied that her desire was the same, but that she knew she would never do it without her father and mother sending it to her. Then he wanted her more. He was a good young man, but he had no wealth.

The young man told the maid that, as his father only despised him for lack of money, that if she wanted to wait five years he would go to work by sea and land, where he could earn money. She promised.

Fighting against the Moors, he gained five hundred thousand years' salary, by sea and by land.

The maid at this time was greatly troubled by the father to take husband. His answer was that he had voted for virginity until he was twenty, saying that women should not marry until they could and could rule their house. The father as he loved her wanted to please her.

After the five years the father said to him: Daughter, my desire is that you take company. She, seeing that the term of five years had passed and knew nothing of the lover, said she would. Immediately the father married her and soon the wedding was held; And the other arrived.

The lover went behind the bed of his beloved and betrothed to him and said: kiss me that I die and she said: God does not want me to miss my husband. For the passion of Jesus Christ, I beseech you to seek another, that you do not realize me; for if God has not pleased me, I am not pleased with myself. He said again: kiss me that I die; She said: I do not want to.

Then he fell dead. She, who saw him as if it were daylight in the great light of the room, began to tremble and woke the husband saying that he snored so much that it made him feel afraid, to tell him something. And he told a joke. She said she wanted another one. And he told her what had happened and how he had died with a sigh.

Said the husband: Oh! Wicked, and why did not you kiss him? She said: for not missing my husband. Certainly, he said, you are praiseworthy.

He, all altered, got up and did not know what to do. He said: If the people know that he has died here, they will say that I have killed him and will be in great trouble.

They agreed to work hard and took him to his father's house. They did it with great eagerness and they were not heard by anyone ...

To the young woman came to the thought how much Juan wanted her and how much she had done for her, and that because she did not want to kiss, she had died. He agreed to go and kiss him before he was buried; He went to the church of Mr. San Pedro, who had him there. Honest women rose up for her. She did not worry about anything other than going to the dead. He discovered her face by pulling away the shroud, kissed him so hard that he died there. The people who came that she, who was not a relative, was thus over the dead, they went to tell him to get out of there but they saw that she was dead. The husband told everyone who was in front of the case as she had told him. They agreed to bury them together in a grave.
