27 And straight away the king sent out one of his armed men, and gave him an order to come back with the head: and he went and took off John's head in prison,

28 And came back with the head on a plate, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother.

27 e mandò subito una guardia con lordine di portargli la testa di lui.

28 E quegli andò, lo decapitò nella prigione, e ne portò la testa in un piatto, e la dette alla fanciulla, e la fanciulla la dette a sua madre.
