An excerpt from the text:

There is no more beautiful sound in all the world than four people blending their voices in perfect harmony. Conversely, the most lugubrious ululations emanate from voices clashing in a discord of sound. Such is the quartette of fools described in the following paragraphs: three members cannot sing, cannot harmonize, yet the fourth produces the finest harmony in the world!

本文摘錄:

全世界上再沒有更美麗的音調比得上四個人的聲音一致和諧地混合在一起。相反地、最悲慘的哀鳴來自一些雜亂、衝突的聲音。這正是以下幾段描述的四個愚人 : 其中三位不能唱、不能和聲、然而第四位產生出全世界最優秀、諧和的音調 !
