Schönherr, on the other hand, regards the Jus Robins et Marion as the source of the Arcadian drama. Not only, however, did Adan de le Hale's play fail to originale any dramatic tradition in its own country, but it is itself nothing but an amplified pastourelle, a form which, in spite of marked Provençal influence, never obtained to any extent in Italy.
The band played the spring and I danced it round, while my cousin eyed me with extorted approval. The quadrille includes an absurd figure called, I think, La Pastourelle.
