Dicembre
Language: Italian (Italiano)
E di dicembre una città in piano: sale terrene, grandissimi fuochi, tappeti tesi, tavolier e giuochi, torticci accesi, star coi dadi in mano, e l'oste inebriato e catellano, e porci morti e finissimi cuochi, ghiotti morselli, ciascun bea e manrdóchi: le botti sian maggior, che San Galgàno. E siate ben vestiti e foderati di guarnacch'e tabarri e di mantelli e di cappucci fini e smisurati; e beffe far de' tristi cattivelli de' miseri dolenti sciagurati avari: non vogliate usar con elli.
