- E di quelli iscrigni uscío sì grandissimo puzzore, che tutti quanti si turarono li nasi, e fuggivano per la grande puzza, che sentivano. E lo Re disse a loro: Cotale puzzore esce di coloro, che portano li bellissimi vestiri, e sono belli di fuori, e dentro sono puzzolenti, perchè sono pieni di ree opere, e di malvagi pensieri, e di molti vizj.
- And, from those chests, came out such a great stench that everyone held their noses, and ran away, due to the great stink they smelled. And the King said to them: "Such a stench comes out of those who, wearing exquisite clothing, and being beautiful on the outside, are rank on the inside, for they are filled with misdeeds, evil thoughts, and many vices.
