Ce qui est sûr, c’est qu’il avait semé des sequins sur le plancher de sa chambre, et il en sema aussi sur la plate-forme dans son trajet de la tour Farnèse au parapet, afin de se donner la chance de distraire les soldats qui auraient pu se mettre à le poursuivre.
One thing certain is that he had scattered sequins upon the floor of his room, and that he scattered more on the platform on his way from the Torre Farnese to the parapet, so as to give himself the chance of distracting the attention of the soldiers who might come in pursuit of him.
