Letters] FAMILIAR LETTERS 9 impossible it would be for you and your genius to keep away from poetry and rid the depths of your breast of those heaveninspired furies and that sacred and ethereal fire, since of your life (as Claudian says of his) Phoebus is the whole breath. 5 Therefore, if you have broken the promises made to yourself, I here praise your (as you call it) inconstancy; I praise the sin, if there be any; and that I should have been made by you the judge of so excellent a poem I no less glory in and regard as an honour than if the contending musical gods themselves had 10 come to me for judgment, as they fable happened of old to Tmolus, the popular god of the Lydian mountain. I know not truly whether I should more congratulate Henry of Nassau on the capture of the city or on your verses; for I think the victory he has obtained nothing more illustrious or more 15 celebrated than this poetical tribute of yours. But, as we hear you sing the prosperous successes of the Allies in so sonorous and triumphal a strain, how great a poet we shall hope to have in you if by chance our own affairs, turning at last more fortunate, should demand your congratulatory muses! Farewell, 20 learned Sir, and believe that you have my best thanks for your verses. London, May 20, 1628. 3. To ALEXANDER GILL In my former letter I did not so much reply to you as stave off my turn of replying.

10 FAMILIARIUM EPISTOLARUM turam tacite promisi, in qua tibi me amicissime provocanti latius aliquanto responderem; verum ut id non essem pollicitus, hanc utcunque summo jure deberi tibi fatendum est, quandoquidem singulas ego literas tuas non nisi meis binis 5 pensari posse existimem, aut si exactius agatur, ne centenis quidem meis. Negotium illud de quo scripsi subobscurius, ecce Tabellis hisce involutum, in quo ego, cum tua ad me pervenit Epistola, districtus temporis angustia, magno turn primum opere desudabam: quidam enim Ædium nostrarum io Socius, qui Comitiis his Academicis in Disputatione Philosophicâ responsurus erat, Carmina super quaestionibus pro more annuo componenda, praetervectus ipse jamdiu leviculas illiusmodi nugas, & rebus seriis intentior, forte meae Puerilitati commisit. Haec quidem Typis donata ad te misi, utpote 15 quern norim rerum Poeticarum judicem acerrimum, & mearum candidissimum. Quod si tua mihi vicissim communicare dignaberis, certe non erit qui magis iis delectetur, erit, fateor, qui rectius pro eorum dignitate judicet. Equidem quoties recolo apud me tua mecum assidua pene colloquia 20 (quse vel ipsis Athenis, ipsa in Academia, quaero, desideroque) cogito statim nee sine dolore, quanto fructu me mea
