The nuptials were prepared with surprising pomp and magnificence; the ceremony was attended with feasts, carousals, and burlesques: all Italy composed sonnets in my praise, though not one of them was tolerable.
Dispusiéronse las bodas con pompa y magnificencia nunca vista: todo era fiestas, torneos, óperas bufas; y en toda Italia se hiciéron sonetos en mi elogio, de los quales ninguno hubo que no fuera rematado de malo.
