MADAM,
I Minded not much what I did, when after I had had the con∣fidence to chide a long time, I grew friends with you the day before your departure, and it gave me occasion to reflect on what you have told me often, that I have no great judge∣ment: you can hardly imagine what trouble and disorder that peace hath cost me, and what advantage it were to me to be a∣gain at oddes with you. I never thought any absence so long as
this which doth but begin. I now feel all those things I w••i•• to you formerly; methinks you have carried Paris, and France, and all the World along with you to Rouën. Be pleased to con∣sider, Madam, you who have alwaies laughed at me, when ever I said that nothing was more prejudicial to me then watching, what disquiets, disturbances, and pains I had avoided, if on Friday the seventh of April, I had gone to bed at midnight, and how much I am obliged to wish I had been fast asleep the two last hours I spent with you. Tis certainly an odde destiny which will, neither when I am far from you, nor when neer you, al∣low me any rest,
Ni sen ti ni con tigo Puede vivir el mundo.
And yet having often had the experience of both, I finde the affliction it is not to see you the most piercing of any, and that you never do me greater hurt then when you are not neer me.
