If I could speak to the emperor – he said – I would implore him to issue a general edict, so that all those who do have the possibility, strew wheat and grain on the roads, so that on a day of such solemnity the birds, and particularly the sister skylarks, have it in abundance.”[12]

“Si em fos possible parlar amb l’emperador –deia–, li demanaria que promulgués un edicte general perquè tots els qui poguessin fossin obligats a tirar gra de blat o altres llegums pels camins; perquè, en tan gran solemnitat, els ocellets, sobretot les germanes aloses, mengessin en abundància”.
