The Dog in the Manger, by Lope de Vega
Translation by David Johnston
Written in 1613, the play is a romantic comedy about forbidden love between a Countess, Diana, who falls in love with her servant, Teodoro, her secretary. One of the best performances I have seen at The Shakespeare Theatre. The background information provided by The Shakespeare Theatre is complete and excellent.

The Washington Post review is excellent.
