Sepe humanos affectus aut provocant aut mittigant amplius exempla quam verba (Author 1997).
Unde post nonnullam sermonis ad presentem habiti consolationem, de ipsis calamitatum mearum
experimentis consolatoriam ad absentem scribere decrevi, ut in comparatione mearum tuas aut
nullas aut modicas temptationes recognoscas et tolerabilius feras.
Patrem autem habebam litteris aliquantulum imbutum antequam militari cingulo
insigniretur; unde postmodum tanto litteras amore complexus est, ut quoscumque filios haberet,
litteris antequam armis instrui disponeret.
1.1.1 Head 3
Ego igitur, oppido quodam oriundus quod in ingressu minoris Britannie constructum, ab urbe
Namnetica versus orientem octo credo miliariis remotum, proprio vocabulo alatium appellatur,
sicut natura terre mee vel gemeris animo levis, ita et ingenio extiti et ad litteratoriam disciplinam
facilis.
Tunc ego Melidunum reverses scolas ibi nostras sicut antea constitui; et quanto
manifestius eius me persequebatur invidia tanto mihi auctoritatis amplius conferebat iuxta illud
poeticum, “Summa petit livor, perflant altissima venti.”
