'''The Lover Disguised as a Maiden''' | |Has Description=<nowiki>'''The Lover Disguised as a Maiden'''</nowiki> | ||
A man falls sick with love of a married woman, whose husband keeps her under lock and key. An old crone asks the man what ails him, and she offers to help, telling him to shave his face and dress in women's clothing. She then approaches the jealous husband, and asks if her young daughter might stay safe with his virtuous wife. The husband agrees, and dressed as a maiden, the would-be-lover gains access to the wife's bedchamber and body. | A man falls sick with love of a married woman, whose husband keeps her under lock and key.
