Letter 7] FAMILIAR LETTERS 25 old good-will to you to cool in the least; nay, that very excuse for your delay which you have employed in the beginning of your letter I had anticipated in my own mind you would offer, and that rightly and in accordance with our relations to 5 each other. For I would not have true friendship turn on balances of letters and salutations, all which may be false, but that it should rest on both sides in the deep roots of the mind and sustain itself there, and that, once begun on sincere and sacred grounds, it should, though mutual good offices should 10 cease, yet be free from suspicion and blame all life long. For fostering such a friendship as this what is wanted is not so much written correspondence as a loving recollection of virtues on both sides. Nor, even should you have persisted in not writing, would there be lack of means with me for supplying 15 that good office. Your probity writes for me in your stead, and inscribes true letters on my inmost consciousness, your frank innocence of character writes to me, and your love of the good; your genius also, by no means an every-day one, writes to me and commends you to me more and more. Don't, 20 therefore, now that you have possessed yourself of that tyrannic citadel of Medicine, wave those terrors before me, as if you meant to draw in bit by bit, and to demand back from me your six hundred healths till only one was left, if by chance (which God forbid) I should become a traitor to friendship. 25 Remove that terrible battery which you seem to have planted right at me in your resolution that it shall not be lawful for me to get ill without your good leave. For, lest you should threaten too much, know that it is impossible for me not to
26 FAMILIARIUM EPISTOLARUM [EPIST. 7 de caetero quidem quid de me statucrit Dcus nescio, illud certc; Nee tanto Ceres labore, ut in Fabulis est, Liberam fertur quæesivisse filiam, quanto ego hanc veluti pulcher- 5 rimam quandam imaginem, per omnes rerum formas & facies: dies noctesque indagare soleo, & quasi certis quibusdam vestigiis ducentem sec tor. Unde fit, ut qui, spretis quæ vulgus pravâ rerum aestimatione opinatur, id sentire & loqui & esse audet; quod 10 summa per omne ævum sapientia optimum esse docuit, illi me protinus, sicubi reperiam, necessitate quâdam adjungam. Quod si ego sive natura, sive meo fato ita sum comparatus, ut nulla contentione, & laboribus meis ad tale decus & fastigium laudis ipse valeam emergere; tamen quo minus qui 15 earn gloriam assecuti sunt, aut eo feliciter aspirant, illos semper colam, & suspiciam, nee Dii puto, nee homines prohibuerint. Caeterum jam curiositati tuae vis esse satisfactum scio. Multa solicite quæris, etiam quid cogitem. Audi, Theodote, verum in aurem ut ne rubeam, & sinito paulisper apud 20 te grandia loquar; quid cogitem quæris? ita me bonus Deus, immortalitatem. Quid agam vero? & volare meditor: sed tenellis admodum adhuc pennis evehit se noster Pegasus, humile sapiamus. Dicam jam nunc serio quid
