There follows a song by the old shepherd Opico, on the superiority of the 'former age'; after which Carino asks the narrator, Sincero the pseudonym under which Sannazzaro travelled in the realm of shepherds to recount his history, which he does at length, ending with a lament in sestina form. By way of consoling him in his exile Carino, in return, tells the tale of his own amorous adventures.
Later on Camoens wrote fifteen eclogues, four of which are piscatorial, and in one, a dialogue between a shepherd and a fisherman, refers in the following terms to Sannazzaro: O pescador Sincero, que amansado Tém o pégo de Prochyta co' o canto Por as sonoras ondas compassado. D'este seguindo o som, que póde tanto, E misturando o antigo Mantuano, Façamos novo estylo, novo espanto.
