– Havete à sapere, Madama, dissele, che tantosto che io stamane vidi la mano aperta sopra al mare, mi feci à credere, che altro non volesse significare, salvo che, ove cinque huomini d'uno medesimo volere si fussero ritrovati, serebbeno à prendere il mondo tutto stati bastevoli; et percioche volea esser intesa, ne alcuno fino al presente s'è ritrovato, che ciò habbia saputo indovinare, ella di continuo al popolo vostro si grave danno, et maleficio recava.

"You must know, Madame,' he said, 'that as soon as I saw the open hand above the sea this morning, I realized, that it could only mean that if five men with a single purpose could be found, it would be sufficient to conquer all countries in the world; and because it should be understood, that since until now this meaning has not been discovered, one could foresee that the hand would continue to cause serious harm and evil to your people.
