A count, duke, king, emperor, bishop, archbishop, and pope face judgment and are condemned to the Ship of Hell for sinful lives and oppression of the poor.
In an allegorical port, the Angel and Devil judge deceased passengers who argue over which boat they deserve. Most are sent to Hell for their worldly sins; four crusading knights reach Heaven, while a humble fool remains in the port.
Deceased souls seek passage onto the Angel's ship. Only a young boy boards the Ship of Heaven, the gambler goes to Hell, and the remaining characters must stay in Purgatory to atone.
Inês rejects the dull farmer Pêro Marques in pursuit of a clever, prosperous husband, and marries the squire Brás da Mata, who soon tyrannizes and confines her. After Brás dies, she marries Pêro and takes a lover, with her new husband carrying her to meet him in the final scene. The play satirizes social ambition and marriage.
A monologue centered on a vaqueiro, the horse-mounted livestock herder of the Iberian Peninsula, written for the royal celebration of Prince Dom João's birth.
