Ignez de Castro, exploring themes of love, loss, and longing through a series of poignant verses.

The opening of the text introduces us to a poetic rendition of D. Ignez's sufferings and her deep affection for Pedro, the man she loves. Through rich imagery and metaphorical language, the verses convey her internal struggles and the poignant pains of separation and unfulfilled desire. The narrative sets a melancholic tone, emphasizing how her beauty is intertwined with sorrow, and foreshadows the inevitable tragedy of her fate, as societal and personal forces conspire against her happiness.
