Quod scelus (ita enim dicendum est) quam graviter tulerim, non est, cur ad te in praesentia scribendum putem, praesertim cum tibi exploratum esse non ignorem, quantum doloris secum afferat neglectus amor. Cuius impulsu hoc ad te litterarum me vel invitum dedisse scias, nam iratus (ingenue enim fatebor) in animum induxeram posthac ad te nullas dare litteras.

Videbar enim mihi litteris tuis legendis illa tua suavissima (ut cum hic aderas) consuetudine perfrui, cuius quidem memoria (ita dii me ament) sic oblector, ut nullus fere dies transeat, quin tua carmina summa cum voluptate legam.
