Cicero to his friend Tiro. Epist. 5.
WE staied all yesterdaie at Aly∣zia, from whence I wrote be∣fore vnto you; Quintus not being yet arriued. To day, which is the fifth of Nouember, I write these before daie being in a readinesse to de∣par••. I entreat you, for the loue you beare to all of vs, but especially to my selfe, your Master, endeuour to recouer. With a verie vnquiet minde, I expect, especially your selfe, and then Mario with your letters. Wee long all, but I aboue the rest, to see you presently, but in no case without your health, good Tiro. And therefore make no haste, I shall thinke I haue euerie daie seen you, so you come lustie and strong vnto vs. I can doe, what is to bee done, without your helpe, and therefore suppose not, that mine owne benefit driues mee, to desire your health, so much as the loue I beare you. Farewell.
