Omnia quae dixisti et ego potuissem ipse: nec opus latino sermone omnibus viris doctis esse, nec umquam plane liquidum sermonem 'Latinum' meum. Invideo ego quoque omnibus qui, ut Lewis facit Italusque sacerdos, tam bene Latine scribant. SED ANGLORUM LINGUAM SCRIBERE NEQUEO: possum legere tantum et magno interpretari labore. Sed hic de Vergilio dicendum est, non de me. Revera timeo ne Roperius, tam maledice "increpet ultro" (ut Vergilium fraudem nostrum frequentissima iunctura!).
Crede mihi, legere quae tam mirifice scribis et tu et sodales istius Fori mihi satis superque est.
