Reverendissime Domine.

Etsi plane intelligo, quantum adhuc operis supersit Dominationi Vestrae, non possum tamen adduci, quin ipsam hic exspectem, potest enim, quotiens voluerit, die tota in negotiis transacta crepusculo noctis hic adesse. Praemittat modo aliquem, qui significet adventum suum, ne imparatus et post cenam offendat. Licebit in crastinum redire ad aulam, nec minus tempestive, quam si illic pernoctasset, fruemur interim una deliciis et amoenitate huius villae, quam spondeo sibi non parum placituram. Adiungerem spem alteram alicuius voluptatis, nisi scirem, quam ingentibus curis distrahitur Dominatio Vestra et a sua innata iucunditate sevocatur.

Nos hic interea conquiescimus satis suaviter. Veremur tantum, ne otium istud in somnum evadat . Itaque postquam legimus nonnihil, interdum vertamur equo aut cumba, currimus nonnumquam aut, quod frequentius accidit, molliter ambulamus. Sed succedunt omnia tam placide, ut in cursu ipso, quantumvis celeri, videar mihi obdormivisse. Ita procul absunt istae nostrae visitationes a turbulenta vestra quiete, ut nulla ratione possim hic consequi, quin inter omnes curis labores animus quiescat prorsus ac se quasi despondeat. Eam ob rem cogor desiderare aut litteras Dominationis Vestrae aut adventum suum, quem imprimis cupio, sin ad vos redeo. Nequeo enim me diutius perpeti aut sufferre.

Sed potest, ut dixi, Dominatio Vestra venire aut significare, quid adversum The Ottoman Turks (Turcae) ⌊TurcasThe Ottoman Turks (Turcae) ⌋ statuatur, quid auxilii Citizens of Bohemia ⌊BohemiCitizens of Bohemia ⌋ promiserint, quid parent, qua die Charles V of Habsburg (*1500 – †1558), ruler of the Burgundian territories (1506-1555), King of Spain as Charles I (1516-1556), King of Naples and Sicily, King of the Romans (1519-1530), Holy Roman Emperor of the German Nation (elected 1519, crowned 1530, abdicated 1556); son of Philip I the Handsome and Joanna the Mad of Castile⌊caesarisCharles V of Habsburg (*1500 – †1558), ruler of the Burgundian territories (1506-1555), King of Spain as Charles I (1516-1556), King of Naples and Sicily, King of the Romans (1519-1530), Holy Roman Emperor of the German Nation (elected 1519, crowned 1530, abdicated 1556); son of Philip I the Handsome and Joanna the Mad of Castile⌋ reditus a balneis exspectetur, quando simus istinc, et quo, profecturi. Item a Nuremberg (Nürnberg, Norimberga), city in Germany, Bavaria⌊NurembergaNuremberg (Nürnberg, Norimberga), city in Germany, Bavaria⌋ quid audiatur, quae spes consilii ac eiusmodi contentionum paginam aut pugnam magnam, quae stomachum hunc languidum moveat excitet exagitet. Qui has perferet, iussi, ut responsum otiose praestoletur.

Bene valeat Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra ac quamprimum veniat.
