''[[Paméla Mariée, ou Le Triomphe des Épouses]]'' ("Pamela married, of the triumph of virtue") is a three-act play French by Benoît Pelletier-Volméranges (1756-1824) and Michel de Cubières de Palmézeaux (authors given simply as "Pelletier-Volméranges et Cubières-Palmézaux" in the first edition.)


==The original text==

Based on Samuel Richardson’s novel ''Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded'',  Goldoni's play was first performed in Italian in 1750.

==Translations and adaptations==

The Goldoni text was first translated into English by John Nourse as ''[[Pamela, a Comedy]]'', performed and published in a bilingual version in 1756. 

A French version of the Goldoni play, entitled  ''[[Paméla Mariée, ou Le Triomphe des Épouses]]'', was written by Pelletier-Volméranges and Cubières-Palmézaux and first performed in Paris, at the Théâtre de l'Ancien Opéra, in 1804 and published in Paris by Barba in the same year.

The French version by Pelletier-Volméranges and Cubières-Palmézaux was in turn translated into [[Dutch]] by an anonymous author as ''[[Pamela, of De Zegepraal der Onschuld]]'', and published in Amsterdam by Abraham Mars in 1805.
