Note 13 — Chapter VIII · REIGNS OF LOUIS XI., CHARLES VIII., AND LOUIS XII. 1461 TO 1515.
Frances Cashel Hoey translation
“To accoutre oneself like a Lucretia, A Lombard woman, or in Grecian fashion, It is my belief cannot be done With honesty. “Beware of being the inventress Of new attire, for many a sinner Might make thee her exemplar. If thou would please God and the world, Wear the dress that denotes simplicity In honesty.”
