VVHether soeuer I turne my selfe, I see manif••st signes of the loue you beare me: vvhich was the occasion, that you were disple••••••d a∣bou•• Tigellius. I thanke you ther••fore fo•• your good will: but I'le deliu••r you the case briefly. Capius (i•• I be not de∣ceiu'd) was wont to say, I sleepe not to euery man: So, I serue not euery bodie.
But what ••er••ice is this? Heretofore, when I vvas in great esteeme, I was not so much obserued, and reuerenc••d of euery bodie, as I am at this present, by all Caesars friends, e••cept onely by this man. Wher••of me thinkes I make g••eat v••e, in that I cannot tolerate such an one; more pestile••t, then his countrie it selfe•• And I thinke he tooke this h••rd conceit against me, because himselfe could haue lik't well of the praises, which Calu••s Licinius bestowes vpon me, after the manner of Hipponactes. But see, wherefore he is in choller with me; I vndertooke to defend the cause of Phamea, out of a desire to doe him a fa∣uour: for he conuersed with me verie domesticallie: Now, he came to me, & told me, that the Iudge would heare his cause, presently on that day, vvhen I was to sit in counsell about Publius Sextius. I answer'd him, that I was de∣sirous to pleasure him; but that it vvas not possible: and vpon any other daie, when he thought good, I would not faile him. He, knowing that he had a Nephevv, which play'd sweetly, and sang very well, departed from me, so farre as I could perceiue, halfe angrie. You may see the na••ure then, of these Sardi: they are like those which are sold in the open ma••ket place, one vvorse, then anoth••r. You haue heard my rea∣s••ns, and the fume of this Sala••on. Send
to me your Cato, I desire to read it. It's a shame for vs both, that I haue not yet read it. Farewell.
