All the city was agitated by an extraordinary movement. Four large vessels, recently built, had just been launched. At the end of the jetty, his clothes richly laced with gold, glittering, as was customary with him, with diamonds and precious stones, his hat ornamented with a white feather which drooped upon his shoulder, Buckingham was seen surrounded by a staff almost as brilliant as himself.
Toda la ciudad estaba agitada por un movimiento extraordinario: cuatro grandes bajeles recientemente terminados acababan de ser lanzados al mar; de pie sobre la escollera engalanado de oro, deslumbrante, según su costumbre, de diamantes y pedrerías, el sombrero de fieltro adornado con una pluma blanca que volvía a caer sobre su hombro, se vela a Buckingham rodeado de un estado mayor casi tan brillante como él.
