520			_a"Plays" by John Davidson is a collection of theatrical works written in the late 19th century. This compilation includes various plays, such as "An Unhistorical Pastoral," "A Romantic Farce," and "A Tragic Farce," which are characterized by a blend of romance, comedy, and dramatic elements. The likely central themes revolve around love, fate, and the interplay between social status and personal desires, with characters ranging from nobility to rustic figures navigating their relationships and aspirations amidst whimsical settings. At the start of "An Unhistorical Pastoral," we are introduced to Alardo, King of Belmarie, and his loyal companion Conrad, who have just returned from a sea voyage filled with troubles. They discuss the heart-wrenching loss of Alardo's son, Rupert, who vanished during their adventures at sea. Their hopes and sorrows set the stage for a story steeped in familial bonds and expectations. As the narrative unfolds, hints of intrigue and romance emerge, particularly with the character of Cinthio, a shepherd, and his aspirations tied to a maid of higher status. The opening sets a tone of longing, adventure, and the complexities of both royal and rural lives interwoven with elements of fate and identity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
