[Act XIV – Calisto, Guarded by Sosia and Tristán, Climbs Melibea’s Garden Wall While Melibea and Lucrecia Watch from a Window]
-
Description
-
Now accompanied by Sosia and Tristan instead of Sempronio and Pármeno, Calisto goes to visit Melibea as promised. He ascends the high wall surrounding Melibea’s garden while Sosia and Tristan stand guard (as seen in this illustration). He returns home after spending the night with Melibea, and laments how quickly the night had passed. To the left of the illustration, we see Calisto with a sword mounted on his belt, climbing a ladder to enter Melibea’s garden. Sosia and Tristan stand behind him with swords and shields. To the right we see Melibea and Lucrecia looking out from a window. Each of them is wearing a robe and a veil. They seem to be making eye contract with Calisto, although it seems perspective would make this impossible. The entire image is identical to the one found on page 255 of the text.
