sine molestiâ eram, quando te felicitatis meae & conscium & authorem in his aerumnis videbam versari. Scio quàm morosi sint qui amant, & quàm omnibus vel minimis offens••s obnoxii: sed si te novi, is es qui citissimè sanari potes, fortassis quidem jam haec nox & Catullus tuus tibi dedit consilium, & ut destinatus ob∣dures, suasit. Quomodo igitur te habeas, quâ mente sis, tranquil∣lâ aut sollicitâ, vigilarisne lassus, an naso tantum vigilaris? fac me certiorem. Ego mi Costarde, tibi persuadeas velim, me à nullo plus velle amari, quàm à te, & si ita placet, mandaturum quid inimicae nostrae, quidni enim mea est si tua? ut res suas sibi habeat. Tu quid velis vide & me ama.
