Omnes servi regis, et cunctæ, quæ sub ditione ejus sunt, norunt provinciæ, quod sive vir, sive mulier non vocatus, interius atrium regis intraverit, absque ulla cunctatione statim interficiatur: nisi forte rex auream virgam ad eum tetenderit pro signo clementiæ, atque ita possit vivere. Ego igitur quomodo ad regem intrare potero, quæ triginta jam diebus non sum vocata ad eum?
All the king's servants, and all the provinces that are under his dominion, know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, cometh into the king's inner court, who is not called for, is immediately to be put to death without any delay: except the king shall hold out the golden sceptre to him, in token of clemency, that so he may live. How then can I go in to the king, who for these thirty days now have not been called unto him?
Omni servos de rege, et cuncta, que sub ditione de illo es, nosce de provincia, quod sive viro, sive muliere non vocato, interiori atrio de rege intra, absque ullo cunctatione statim interfice: nisi forte rege tetenda aurea ad illo virga pro signo de clementia, et ita pote vive. Me ergo quomodo ad rege intra pote, que triginta jam dies non es voca ad illo?
