Scio certissime, quia merito in collo pondus languoris porto, in quo iuvenculam me memini supervacua monilium pondera portare: et credo quod ideo me superna pietas dolore colli voluit gravari, ut sic absolvar reatu supervacuae levitatis; dum mihi nunc pro auro et margaritis, de collo rubor tumoris, ardorque promineat.
I know most certainly that I worthily do bear the burden of pain in my neck, on the which I remember, that when I was a girl, I did bear the superfluous burdens of necklaces: and I believe that the heavenly pity hath therefore willed me to be grieved with the pain in my neck, that so I may be acquitted from the guilt of superfluous vanity; whereas now instead of gold and pearls, the redness and burning of the swelling breaketh out of my neck.
