"Sire, this is one of my companions, a merchant like myself, and that is his wife."
But since the King did not feel satisfied by this reply, he asked the young woman kindly, if she could lend him the jewels that adorned her neck, which he would return in a very short time. He wanted to compare them with some of the jewels in the Giulistano palace, meaning that he wanted to compare them which the jewels which he had first given to Giulla.
