The barber got me a place to be lackey to a Knight of Malta, who was going to Venice; but finding my master had no money to pay me my wages, I entered into the service of a Venetian merchant and went with him to Constantinople.
Le barbier me trouva une condition, et me fit laquais d'un chevalier de Malte qui allait à Venise: mais mon maître n'ayant pas de quoi me payer, je me mis au service d'un marchand vénitien, et je le suivis à Constantinople.
