 gifts, occasions of contentment,
immortal spring and its indications,
illustrious government, religion, state,
all in this speech is written....It is ordered that I write you some indication
that I have arrived in this famous city,
center of perfection, hinge of the world;
its seat, its populous greatness,
its rare things, its riches and its treatment,
its illustrious people, its pompous labor.
