Praise for Law for Business Students

engage in-depth with key areas of knowledge.’
Kelly-Ann Cannon, Senior Lecturer in Law,
University of Northampton

‘A highly accessible and clearly written book for non-law students.’


Dr Stuart Peck, Senior Lecturer in Law,
University of Westminster

‘The book clearly introduces principles of law to both law and non-law students in a
manner which is easily understood and applied.’
Professor Sukhninder Panesar, Head of Law School,
University of Wolverhampton

‘Law for Business Students presents the key principles of business law in a meaningful
and interactive manner, promoting greater understanding of complex legal principles
and how they relate to current issues.’
Stella Diamantidi, Associate Dean, Student Engagement,

that will cater to all learning abilities.’
Dr Ashley Jane Lowerson, Assistant Professor,

Preface

We, Stephanie Caplan and Graeme Lockwood of King’s College, London have written
a revised 12th edition of this textbook. The book has been updated, where required,
to reflect updates in the law and particularly the impact of Brexit and the law in a
post-Covid arena. Once again, the changes were developed in response to feedback
from those lecturers who had used previous editions. Their responses were invaluable
to the process of developing improvements to the content and presentation of the
material included.

The law is covered in an accessible manner, but without over-simplification of the


subject matter. The text provides coverage of the fundamental legal principles and an
understanding of the practical application of the law to the business environment.

In addition, each chapter includes the well-received Review Questions section designed
to encourage students to develop a deeper understanding of legal application.

Many thanks to all at Pearson who have helped in the preparation of this addition. We
appreciate the efficiency, patience and practical assistance that has been provided.

We hope that the text will help non-law degree students (who are often required to
study law covering a very diverse range of areas relating to the business environment)
to understand legal concepts and principles relating to business activity and encourage
them to develop their study of the law further.

Good luck with your studies. We hope you find the subject interesting and challenging
and find the book retains the clarity for which Adams is renowned and which makes it
such an invaluable tool across a wide spectrum of business law modules.

Stephanie Caplan and Graeme Lockwood

Study skills

Introduction
This chapter, which aims to help acquire the skills essential to the successful study of
law, is divided into four sections:

1 starting to study;
2 good study habits;
3 writing law assignments;
4 revision and examination technique.

Starting to study
Get rid of misconceptions
Many students will be studying law for the first time and as one component of a
course. Studying law is interesting and challenging. Contrary to common belief, the
study of law is not primarily concerned with ancient, dry and precise regulations that
have to be learnt by heart. The law as it is applied will have been decided in previous
cases that have come to court because the law was not precise and consequently
gave rise to the dispute. This text looks at how the law applies to real-life business
and social situations, which will enable legal principles to be applied to legal sit-
uations. Effective communication of understanding of those principles is the main
requirement for examination success.
While remembering all the cases by name and being able to quote extracts from
statutes would improve answers, this is impressive, but not essential.

Law is relevant
Remember that the law responds and develops as required by the society within
which it operates. For example, the Bribery Act 2010 was introduced to make the

M01 Law for Business Students 40484.indd 2 17/03/2023 14:45

law more effective in tackling corruption in relation to corporate activities whether
committed in the United Kingdom or abroad. The law affects people personally every
day of their lives. For example, it determines eligibility for a student loan, rights to
treatment under the National Health Service and entitlements and responsibilities as
a consumer, business, employer or employee.

Widen horizons
Studies will be more rewarding if law is not considered as something to be thought
about only when in class or reading a relevant text. The effects of many areas of the
law are widely reported and discussed in the media. Such reports can help to see
how the law works (or does not work), as well as being a reminder of what has been
studied. Keep up to date with the news, try to look at a quality newspaper and look
out for relevant TV and radio programmes. (Some suggestions for resources appear
in Appendix 1.) The internet is an excellent research tool. (Try visiting the websites
suggested by the web activity references at the end of Chapters 3–26.)

Make connections
The more one studies, the easier it gets. Studying law is rather like doing a large
jigsaw without the help of a picture – progress is initially slow while the framework is
established, but patience is rewarded. Once the picture begins to reveal itself, it can
be seen more easily how the different pieces fit together and then the task gets eas-
ier and quicker.
Try not to think of each topic as a separate entity to be ‘done’ and neatly filed
away in the memory. Exploit the links with other related topics; this aids both rec-
ollection and understanding. Exam and assignment questions may involve a legal
problem, raising issues about a number of different topics; the ability to see con-
nections is vital to an effective response. To help to do this, frequent cross-refer-
ences appear in the text. Pondering on the questions in the ‘Worth thinking about?’
boxes in this textbook, and maybe discussing these with fellow students, will help
with the process.

4 Part 1 Introduction: getting started

Read and practise, applying knowledge


Reading thoroughly and widely is essential; practising the written skills required by
the examinations is also crucial.
The study of law is interesting but can be challenging for those unfamiliar with legal
language and concepts. All may not be clear on first reading so be prepared to go back
and re-read a section that is not understood. (The chapter summaries may help to under-
stand the main points of each chapter.) Often it is best to try to get a general picture on
the first reading of a topic, continuing to read on even if it is not fully understood.
Get all the writing practice that is possible. Self-directed study will help to develop
legal writing skills and to prepare for assessments. Try the review questions and
assignments in this textbook. Prepare written answers to tutorial questions and be
prepared to participate when attending them. This is much more valuable (and more
fun) than listening silently to other people’s answers.

Good study habits


Create a structure for learning
Success in studies depends more on being well organised and developing a good
knowledge of the subject.

Time management
It is important that a reasonable amount of time each week is set aside for private
study, as this is a crucial supplement to the tuition received. Attending a lecture is the
first step towards understanding a topic, but this initial learning must be reinforced in
private study by reading and preparing for and participating in tutorials.
Students could produce a study timetable with realistic goals. Short bursts spread
across the week may be more manageable than aiming to study in lengthy blocks,
particularly in the early stages of the course.

Note-taking
Lecture notes are an essential lifeline. Perhaps use a loose-leaf folder and write on
one side of the paper only. That enables more notes to be added later on having
read the textbook.
Take some notes from personal reading, rephrasing with plenty of side headings.
Note the sources of any extra notes taken, as they may need to be cited later in an
assignment.
Take care to follow the correct academic referencing style. If an extract is copied,
be sure to use quotation marks and indicate the source. This will ensure that an idea

argumento que pueda
desbaratarla, la cual os quiero
poner en término que me podáis
responder á ella si hallareis qué
poder decir para confundirla.
Antonio.—Proponed, que yo iré
respondiendo como supiere,
aunque, según la habéis
encarecido, desde agora me
puedo dar por concluso; pero
todavía tengo creído que no
faltará respuesta, y mejor de la
que vos pensáis.
Albanio.—Decidme: si un
religioso reza sus horas
canónicas con mucho cuidado y
devoción, y un seglar hace lo
mismo y en la misma igualdad,
¿cuál de ellos merecerá mayor
premio y será digno de más
gloria?
Antonio.—Paréceme que el
religioso, porque assí como
tendría mayor pena y mayor
castigo no cumpliendo con la
obligación que tiene sobre sí, assí
es justo que se le dé mayor
premio por hacerlo que es
obligado; que de otra manera
sería notorio agravio el que
recibiese, y como Dios sea juez
tan justo, quiere que sean iguales
en la gloria y en la pena, para que
el que fuere digno de más crecida
pena también lo sea para llevar
más crescida la gloria.
Albanio.—Lo cierto habéis
respondido, y de vuestra
respuesta sale la razón que he
dicho, y así me responded á lo
que diré: ¿cuál es digno de mayor
infamia, uno que es de muy buen
linaje y hace alguna vileza ó cosa
fea de que pueda ser
reprehendido, ó uno que ha
alcanzado valor por su sola
persona y comete la misma vileza
haciendo lo que no debe?
Antonio.—El que ha ganado el
merecimiento y valor por su
persona.
Albanio.—Pues ¿cómo puede
ser esso, que vos mesmo os
contradecís, porque esta razón
tiene la mesma fuerza que la
pasada? Claro es y notorio á
todos que mayor obligación tiene
un bueno á obrar cosas buenas y
virtuosas que uno que no lo es
tanto, digo en la calidad y linaje, y
así por esta obligación que tiene
sobre sí merece mayor premio y
honra en ser bueno siguiendo la
virtud de sus pasados, que no el
que es de bajo y oscuro linaje;
porque éste no está tan obligado
á usar de aquella bondad, y así
como al bueno se le ha de dar
mayor premio por esto, es digno
de mayor infamia si se desvía del
camino que fundó el que dió
principio á su linaje y siguieron los
que dél han procedido, y si es
digno de mayor infamia faltando á
su obligación, justo será que se le
dé mayor honra sin contradicción
ninguna.
Antonio.—Hermosa y fuerte
razón es la que, señor Albanio,
habéis traído, y argumento muy
aparente, aunque no dexa de
tener respuesta bastante, porque,
como suelen decir, debaxo de la
buena razón á veces está el
engaño, y asi lo está debaxo
desto que vos habéis dicho
cuando quisiéredes bien
entenderlo, porque yo no niego
que al que es de buen linaje y hijo
de buenos padres se le debe
mayor honra, siendo bueno, que
al que es de humilde linaje
aunque sea bueno; pero esto se
entiende cuando son igualmente
buenos, que bien podría ser
bueno el que es de buen linaje y
tener mayor bondad el que es de
más bajo estado; y en este caso
todavía me afirmo en que es
digno de mayor honra el que
mayor bondad tuviere; esto
podréis mejor entender por lo que
agora diré. Notorio es que
muchos romanos de oscuros y
bajos linajes hicieron hechos tan
valerosos que por ellos
merecieron ser recebidos en
Roma con muy honrados y
sumptuosos triunfos, y á algunos
dellos se les pusieron públicas
estatuas en los lugares públicos y
fueron tenidos y estimados como
dioses que decian, héroes entre
los hombres. No faltaban
juntamente en Roma algunos
hombres de antiguos y claros
linajes, muy virtuosos y sin
mancilla que les pudiese
embarazar la honra; pero con no
igualar en los hechos, ni en la
fortaleza y virtud del ánimo con
los otros, no se igualaban con
ellos en la honra que se les hacía,
antes eran tenidos y estimados en
menos. El rey David, pastor fué
que guardaba ganado, y en su
tiempo muchos varones sanctos y
virtuosos hubo que descendían
de sangre de reyes, á los que no
les faltaba virtud ni fortaleza; pero
con no igualarse en ellas ni en las
hazañas tan valerosas,
principalmente cuando mató á
Golias, no fueron tan honrados ni
tan estimados de las gentes como
lo fué el rey David. Y así podría
traeros otros diversos exemplos,
los cuales dexo por la prolixidad y
porque entre nosotros lo vemos
cada día; que dos hijos de un
padre y de una madre igualmente
buenos, si á algunos dellos por
permisión y voluntad de Dios
ayuda y le favorece la industria en
poder acabar y salir con hechos
más hazañosos, le tenemos y
estimamos por más honrado que
al otro.
Jerónimo.—Desa manera al
acaecimiento se ha de atribuir la
honra de los hombres y en él está
darla á los unos y quitarla á los
otros.
Antonio.—Principalmente se ha
de atribuir á Dios, pues todas las
cossas se gobiernan por su
summo poder y voluntad. Pero
con esto permite que algunos
sean más bien empleados que
otros, y así cuando unos se
ensalzan, otros se humillan y
abaten, que no pueden estar
todos en una igualdad. Y así
resolviendo me digo, que cuando
dos hombres, el uno de buen
linaje y el otro de no tan bueno,
fueren igualmente buenos, que ha
de ser preferido y antepuesto en
la honra el de buen linaje al otro,
y si no son iguales, siendo mejor
en virtud y fortaleza el que es
inferior en linaje ha de ser más
estimado y preferido; y conforme
á esto se ha de entender el
decreto sobredicho, porque la
razón que habéis dicho de que
merece mayor pena el bueno,
haciendo lo que no debe, que el
que no es tal como él, yo os lo
confieso que así es digno de
mayor gloria. Pero (como en lo
que arriba he dicho bien á la clara
yo he probado) el que tiene más
virtud y valor, aunque sea
desigual en linaje, ya se ha hecho
tan bueno con ello como el otro, y
aun mejor. Y así está ya puesto
debajo de la mesma obligación de
usar la virtud y bondad, y obligado
á la mesma pena. Lo que
entenderéis por un ejemplo que
diré: Si un fraile ha que es fraile
cuarenta años, y otro no ha más
de uno que hizo proffesión, ¿no
estará éste obligado á los
preceptos de la orden como el
otro? ¿y no pecará igualmente?
Albanio.—Aunque en parte le
relevaría no estar tan habituado á
las observancias de la orden;
pero si no es pecado por
inorancia, eso no puede negarse.
Antonio.—Pues lo mesmo es en
lo que tratamos; que cuando uno
se ensalza y engrandece con
virtudes y hazañas, hace
profesión en la orden de la honra,
de manera que tan obligado
queda á guardar los preceptos
della y conservarla como aquel
que de antiguo tiempo tiene esta
obligación, pues que á todos nos
obliga la naturaleza igualmente á
ser virtuosos, no quiero decir en
un mesmo grado, sino que nos
obliga á todos sin excetar alguno,
dexando la puerta abierta para
que sea vicioso, y á lo mesmo la
verdadera ley christiana que
tenemos y seguimos nos obliga
juntamente á todos, y desta
manera, si bien lo consideramos,
no tenemos por qué decir que es
más obligado á sustentar la honra
de sus antepasados uno que
desciende de claro y antiguo
linaje que uno que por si mesmo
la ha ganado de nuevo.
Albanio.—En fin, la común
opinión es contraria de lo que
decís, porque tienen en tanto una
antigua y clara sangre, que el que
della participa, siempre es
juzgado digno de mayor honra.
Antonio.—No entendemos qué
cosa es ser buena y clara la
sangre, pues ya conocemos qué
cosa es ser antigua. Por cierto á
muchos juzgamos de buena
sangre que la tienen inficionada y
corrompida de malos humores, y
dexando de ser sangre se vuelve
en ponzoña que, bebiéndola,
bastaría á matar á cualquier
hombre, y algunos labradores hay
viles y que no sabiendo apenas
quiénes fueron sus padres tienen
una sangre tan buena y tan pura
que ninguna mácula hay en ella.
Esta manera de decir de buena
sangre es desatino y un impropio
hablar. Pero dexando esto, yo
estoy espantado de las
confusiones, novedades,
desatinos que cada día vemos en
el mundo acerca desto de los
linajes; pluguiesse á Dios que
tuviesse yo tantos ducados de
renta en su servicio para no vivir
pobre, como hoy hay hidalgos,
pecheros y villanos que no
pechan, que en esto hay algunos
que se saben dar tan buena
maña, que gozan del privilegio
que no tienen, y otros hay tan
apocados y tan pobres, que no
son bastantes á defender su
hidalguía cuando los
empadronan, y assí la pierden
para sí y para sus descendientes.
Y assí hemos visto dos hermanos
de padre y madre ser el uno
hidalgo y pechar el otro, y ser el
uno caballero y el otro no
alcanzar á ser hidalgo. Algunos
de los que son hidalgos no hallan
testigos que juren de padre y
agüelo, como la ley lo manda;
otros que no lo son, hallan cien
testigos falsos que por poco
interese juran. Y assí anda todo
revuelto y averiguada mal la
verdad en este caso.
Jerónimo.—Así es, señor
Antonio, como vos lo decís, que
muchas veces lo he considerado
y aun visto por experiencia. Pero
decidme, ¿qué diferencia hay
entre hidalgo y caballero, que yo
no lo alcanzo?
Antonio.--Yo os la diré. En los
tiempos antiguos, los reyes
hacían hidalgos algunos por
servicios que les hacían ó por
otros méritos que en ellos
hallaban; á otros armaban
caballeros, que era mayor
dignidad, porque gozaban de más
y mejores essenciones; pero esto
se entendía en sus vidas, porque
después sus descendientes no
gozaban de más de ser hidalgos.
Los que eran caballeros se
obligaban á cumplir ciertas cosas
cuando recebían la orden de
caballería, como aun agora
parece por algunas historias
antiguas, y en los libros de
historias fingidas, que tomaron
exemplo de lo verdadero, se trata
más copiosamente, y por esta
causa eran en más estimados.
Agora no se usa aquella orden de
caballería, y así hay muy pocos
caballeros á los cuales nuestro
emperador ha dado este
previlegio ó por sus virtudes ó por
otros respetos, y con ser la mayor
dignidad de todas en la milicia,
puede tanto la malicia de las
gentes, que si antes que
hubiessen la orden de caballería
no eran de buen linaje, los llaman
por despreciados caballeros
pardos ó hidalgos de privilegio,
paresciéndoles que por ser en
ellos más antigua la hidalguía
tiene mayor valor, y dexando de
guardar en esto la verdadera
orden que se ha de tener. A los
hidalgos ricos llaman caballeros, y
á lo que creo es porque tienen
más posibilidad para andar á
caballo, que yo no veo otra causa
que baste, porque tan hidalgo es
un hidalgo que no tiene un
maravedí de hacienda como un
señor que tiene veinte cuentos de
renta, si, como he dicho, no es
armado caballero; y hay tan
pocos caballeros en Castilla, que
aunque el rey ha dicho algunos,
no sería muy dificultoso el número
dellos, y con todo esto no veréis
otra cosa, ni oiréis entre los que
presumen sino á fe de caballero,
yo os prometo como caballero, sin
que tengan más parte con ser
caballeros que quien nunca lo fué
ni lo soñó ser, ó diremos que
toman este nombre en muy ancho
significado porque el vulgo tiene
por caballero que es hombre rico
que anda á caballo. Desta
manera son todas las otras cosas
que tocan á esto de la honra, que
ningún concierto ni orden hay en
ellas, sino que cada uno juzga y
defiende como le parece y como
más hace á su apetito.
Albanio.—¿Sabéis, Antonio, qué
veo? Que cuando comenzamos
esta materia prometisteis de no
sentenciar en ella, y á lo que he
visto, por más que sentenciar
tengo vuestras palabras, pues
ningún lugar habéis dejado con
ellas para ser más estimados los
herederos de la honra que los que
por sí la ganaron, y no os veo tan
desapasionado en esto que
queráis volver atrás de lo que
habéis dicho en ninguna cosa.
Antonio.—Yo digo lo que siento,
y no por esso dejo de pensar que
habrá otros que lo sientan
differentemente y de manera que
tengan otras muchas razones
contrarias para contradecir lo que
he dicho, y así me pongo debaxo
de la correción de los que más
sabios fueren y mejor lo
entendieren; pero esto ha de ser
no les yendo en ello su propio
interese, que desta manera
podrán ser buenos jueces, como
vemos que lo fué Salustio que
cuando competía con Marco
Tulio, porque le iba su propia
pasión, fué del parecer vulgar,
mas cuando habló desapasionado
y como filósofo moral en la batalla
que escrebió del rey Ingurta dice
asi:
Quanto vita majorum plæclarior
est,
tanto posterorum socordia flagitior
est.
que quiere decir: cuanto la vida
de los antepasados fué más
illustre, tanto la pereza de los
descendientes es más culpada.
Y pues que ya hemos dicho
brevemente todo lo que alcanza á
nuestros claros juicios, y yo he
cumplido lo que quedé mejor que
he sabido, justo será que nos
vamos, que ya el sol tiene tanta
fuerza que no basta el frescor de
la verdura para resistirla.
Jerónimo.—Es ya casi medio día
y con el gusto de la cuestión no
hemos sentido ir el tiempo.
Caminemos, porque no hagamos
falta, que ya el conde habrá
demandado la comida.

Finis.
COLLOQUIO
PASTORIL

En que un pastor llamado


Torcuato cuenta á otros dos
pastores llamados Filonio y
Grisaldo los amores que tuvo
con una pastora llamada
Belisia. Va compuesto en
estilo apacible y gracioso y
contiene en sí avisos
provechosos para que las
gentes huyan de dexarse
vencer del Amor, tomando
enxemplo en el fin que
tuvieron estos amores y el
pago que dan á los que
ciegamente los siguen, como
se podrá ver en el proceso
deste colloquio.

Á LOS LECTORES DICE LAS


CAUSAS QUE LE
MOVIERON Á PONER ESTE
COLLOQUIO CON LOS
PASSADOS.
Bien cierto estoy que no faltarán
diferentes juicios para juzgar esta
obra, como los hay para todas las
otras que se escriben, y que
aunque haya algunos á quien les
parezca bien, habrá otros que
tendrán otro parecer diferente y
murmurarán diciendo que no fué
bien acertado mezclar con los
colloquios de veras uno de burlas,
como es el que se sigue, y que yo
debiera excusarlo assí, y quiero
decir los motivos que para ello
tuve y me parecieron bastantes,
en los cuales pude acertar y
también he podido engañarme,
que creo que habrá assimesmo
en esto diversos pareceres como
en lo pasado. Lo primero que me
movió, fué que, dirigiendo este
libro al Sr. D. Alonso Pimentel, y
estando su señoría en edad tan
tierna, cuando viniese á leer
cosas más pesadas que
apacibles, como son las que se
tratan en estos colloquios, que
por ventura se enfadaría dellas, y
convenía hallar en qué mudar el
gusto para tomar más sabor en lo
que se leyese, y así quise poner
por fruta de postre la que también
podrá servir en el medio cuando
entre manjar y manjar quisiere
gustar della; y demás desto, no
dexa de tener en sí este colloquio
muy buenos enxemplos y dotrina,
pues se podrá entender por él el
fin que se sigue de los amores
que se siguen con vanidad, y
cuán poca firmeza se suele hallar
en ellos. También en la segunda y
tercera parte se hallarán algunas
cosas que, considerándolas, se
sacará dellas muy gran provecho,
pues tienen más sentido en sí del
que en la letra parece; y sin estas
causas que he dado, parecióme
que podría yo hacer lo que otros
autores muy graves hicieron sin
ser reprehendidos por ello, y que
tenía escudo y amparo en su
enxemplo contra las lenguas de
los que de mí por esta causa
murmurar quisiessen.
El primero es el poeta Virgilio, que
con los libros de La Eneida,
siendo obra tan calificada, no le
pareció mal poner las Bucólicas,
que tratan cosas de amores, y los
Parvos, que son todos de burlas y
juegos. El poeta Ovidio también
mezcló con sus obras el de Arte
amandi y el de Remedio amoris.
Eneas Silvio, que después se
llamó el papa Pío, escribió cosas
muy encarecidas y con ellas los
Amores de Eurialo Franco y
Lucrecia Senesa. Luciano, autor
griego, con los colloquios de
veras mezcló algunos de burlas y
donaires, y también puso con
ellos los libros en que escribe el
Mundo nuevo de la luna,
fingiendo que hay en ella
ciudades y poblaciones de gentes
y otras cosas que van pareciendo
disparates. Petrarca muchas
obras escribió en que se mostró
muy gran teólogo y letrado, y no
por esto dexó de poner entre ellas
la que hizo sobre los amores que
tuvo con madona Laura, y así yo
pude escribir el colloquio que se
sigue con los pasados, teniendo
por mi parte tantos autores con
quien defenderme de lo que fuere
acusado. Y si estas razones y
excusas no bastaren, bastará
una, y es que á los que les
pareciere mal no lo lean y hagan
cuenta que aquí se acabaron los
colloquios, que para mí basta
solamente que á quien van
dirigidos se satisfaga de mi
intención, la cual ha sido de
acertar á servir en esto y en todo
lo que más pudiere hacerlo, como
soy obligado.
Torquemada.

COLLOQUIO PASTORIL

En que se tratan los amores de


un pastor llamado Torcato con
una pastora llamada Belisia: el
cual da cuenta dellos á otros
dos pastores llamados Filonio
y Grisaldo, quexándose del
agravio que recibió de su
amiga. Va partido en tres
partes. La primera es del
proceso de los amores. La
segunda es un sueño. En la
tercera se trata la causa que
pudo haber para lo que Belisia
con Torcato hizo.

INTERLOCUTORES

Grisaldo.—Torcato.—Filonio.

Filonio.—¿Qué te parece,
Grisaldo, de las regocijadas y
apacibles fiestas que en estos
desposorios de Silveida en
nuestro lugar hemos tenido, y con
cuánto contento de todos se ha
regocijado? Que si bien miras en
ello, no se han visto en nuestros
tiempos bodas que con mayor
solemnidad se festejasen, ni en
que tantos zagales tan bien
adrezados ni tantas zagalas tan
hermosas y bien ataviadas y
compuestas se hayan en uno
juntado.
Grisaldo.—Razón tienes,
Filonio, en lo que dices, aunque
yo no venga del todo contento,
por algunos agravios que en ellas
se han recibido, que á mi ver han
sido en perjuicio de algunos
compañeros nuestros, que con
justa causa podrán quedar
sentidos de la sinrazón que
recibieron. Y porque no eres de
tan torpe entendimiento que tu
juicio no baste para haber
conocido lo que digo, dime, así
goces muchos años los amores
de Micenia y puedas romper en
su servicio el jubón colorado y
sayo verde con la caperuza azul y
zaragüelles que para los días de
fiesta tienes guardados, ¿no fué
mal juzgada la lucha entre
Palemón y Melibeo dándose la
ventaja á quien no la tenía y
poniendo la guirnalda á quien no
la había merecido; que si tuviste
atención no fué pequeña ventaja
la que tuvo el que dieron por
vencido al que por vencedor
señalaron?
Filonio.—Verdaderamente,
hermano Grisaldo, bien
desengañado estaba yo de que el
juicio fué hecho más con afición
que no con razón ni justicia;
porque puesto caso que Palemón
sobrepujase en fuerzas á
Melibeo, no por eso se le debía
atribuir la victoria, pues nunca le
dió caída en que ambos no
pareciesen juntamente en el
suelo, y demás desto, si bien
miraste la destreza de Melibeo en
echar los traspiés, el aviso en
armar las zancadillas, la buena
maña en dar los vaivenes,
juzgarás que no había zagal en
todas estas aldeas que en esto
pudiese sobrepujarlo; y cuando
Palemón con sus fuertes brazos
en alto lo levantaba, así como
dicen que Hércules hizo al
poderoso Anteo, al caer estaba
Melibeo tan mañoso que, apenas
con sus espaldas tocaba la tierra,
cuando en un punto tenía á
Palemón debaxo de sí, que quien
quiera que le viera más
dignamente le juzgara por
victorioso que por vencido. Pero
¿qué quieres que hiciese el buen
pastor Quiral, puesto por juez,
que por complacer á su amada
Floria le era forzado que, con
justicia ó sin ella, diese la
sentencia por Palemón su
hermano?
Grisaldo.—Si al amor pones de
por medio, pocas cosas justas
dexarán de tornar injustamente
hechas. Y dexando la lucha, no
fué menos de ver el juego de la
chueca, que tan reñido fué por
todas partes, en el cual se mostró
bien la desenvoltura y ligereza de
los zagales, que en todo un día
no pudieron acabar de ganarse el
precio que para los vencedores
estaba puesto; ni en la corrida del
bollo se acabó de determinar cuál
de los tres que llegaron á la par lo
había tocado más presto que los
otros, y en otras dos veces que
tomaron á correr, parecía que
siempre con igualdad habían
llegado.
Filonio.—Bien parece que con
faltar Torcato en estos regocijos y
fiestas, todos los pastores y
mancebos aldeanos pueden tener
presunción que cuando él
presente se hallaba, ninguno
había que con gran parte en
fuerzas y maña le igualase; todas
las joyas y preseas eran suyas,
porque mejor que todos lo
merecía y en tirar á mano ó con
una honda, en saltar y bailar á
todos sobrepujaba, en tañer y
cantar con flauta, rabel y
cherumbela, otro segundo dios
Pan parecía. No había zagala
hermosa en toda la comarca que
por él no se perdiese; todas
deseaban que las amase, y, en
fin, de todas las cosas de buen
pastor á todos los otros pastores
era preferido; mas agora yo no
puedo entender qué enfermedad
le trae tan fatigado y abatido, tan
diferente del que ser solía, que
apenas le conozco cuando le veo
su gesto, que en color blanca con
las mejillas coloradas á la blanca
leche cubierta de algunas hojas
de olorosos claveles semejaba,
agora flaco, amarillo, con ojos
sumidos, más figura de la mesma
muerte que de hombre que tiene
