Aunque la mona se vista de seda, mona
se queda
An ape’s an ape, a varlet’s a varlet,
though they be clad in silk or scarlet.
[This proverb is a translation of one of the adages of
Erasmus: “simia simia est, etiamsi aurea gestet insignia.” It implies that
people never change whether they appear in fine clothing or acquire great
riches. "Varlet" era un truhán, un sinvergüenza. "Clad", vestido.]
