He appeared in a yellow velvet cap, trimmed with fur, and a loose green velvet gown or bathrobe as if he, bred on that shinbone coast and weaned on beans and codfish, had translated himself into some mandarin or hawk - nosed Renaissance prince, tossing bones to the mastiffs, jewels to the whores, and swilling wine out of golden goblets with his codpiece busting its velvet bows.
Aparecía con una gorra de terciopelo amarillo, adornada con piel, y una amplia túnica o bata de terciopelo verde, como si él, criado en aquella costa agreste y destetado con judías y bacalao, se hubiese transformado en un mandarín o en un aguileño príncipe renacentista, arrojando huesos a los mastines y joyas a las prostitutas y bebiendo vino en copas de oro, con los lazos de terciopelo de sus calzas a punto de reventar.
