     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, 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.
