      Ma, per salirla, mo nessun diparte ¶ da terra i piedi, e la regola mia ¶ rimasa è per danno de le carte. ¶ Le mura che solieno esser badia ¶ fatte sono spelonche, e le cocolle ¶ sacca son piene di farina ria.
      But to ascend it now no one uplifts his feet from off the earth, and now my Rule below remaines for mere waste of paper. The walls that used of old to be an Abbey are changed to dens of robbers, and the cowls are sacks filled full of miserable flour.
