Eufemia

Two important treatments of the story in dramatic form are sixteenth-century Spanish, L.pe de Rueda's "Eufemia," where the heroine tricks her maligner by accusing him of having spent many nights with her and of finally having stolen a jewel from under her bed; he denies all knowledge of her (cf.J. L. Klein, Geschichte des Dramas, 9 [1872]: 144-156); and English, Shakespeare's "Cymbeline."
