Amor con Amor se Paga Y Versos Sencillos

by José Martí

Esta obra presenta un solo acto en el que intervienen dos personajes nombrados, Julián y Leonor, quienes pretenden representar una obra a partir de un proverbio, inician buscando el más adecuado, hasta que deciden la obra a partir del proverbio Amor con amor se paga, los actores deciden entonces tomar los nombres de Teresa y Julián, inicia entonces una escena de amor entre ambos hasta que Julián declara su amor no a Teresa (personaje) si no a Leonor (actriz). Finalmente se dirige el actor al público y expresa los verdaderos sentimientos del autor de la obra, quien por estar ausente de su patria, sufre dicha lejanía y escribe una obra de poco valor para distraer a otros.
