They entered a very plain house, for the door was nothing but silver, and the ceiling was only of beaten gold, but wrought in such elegant taste as to vie with the richest. The antechamber, indeed, was only incrusted with rubies and emeralds; but the order in which everything was disposed made amends for this great simplicity.
Entráron ámbos en una casa sin pompa, porque las puertas no eran mas que de plata, y los techos de los aposentos de oro, pero con tan fino gusto labrados, que con los mas ricos techos podian entrar en cetejo; la antesala solamente en rubíes y esmeraldas estaba embutida, pero el órden con que estaba todo colocado resarcia esta excesiva simplicidad.
