[] You warn me, & prejudge that I want to try hard, to seek consolation, & because you warn me, & see too well all that I could bring you, I will resist, not so much for fear of having been discovered, as for fear of upsetting you by the repetition of what you are often proposed "...And he offers her " the incense of my affection on the altar of your virtues "... He is "sorry to have come so soon, because I learned that I was only expected on Monday because of the solemnity that was still on Sunday [...] Patience. Another time I will not be so diligent to return, and to leave the honor and the good that I receive from enjoying your sweet conversation.
