I am in jest I request it in good earnest Let me know how you do touching which I cannot remain ignorant without very great trouble of mind 12. C. Plinius to Calestrius Tyro c. 1. I Have had a very great losse if the forgoing of so worthy a man may be called a loss 2. Coraelius Rufus is deceased and indeed of his own voluntary will which doth exasperate my grief 3. For it is a most sorrowfull kind of death which seemeth to ●e neither naturall nor fatall 4. For howsoever there is great comfort to be taken from very necessity touching those that die upon some disease in those who die a voluntary death the grief is incurable because they are thought to have been able to live a long time 5. Indeed a main reason which wise men account as a necessity enforced Corellius to this course though he had many reasons to live a very good conscience a very good repute a very great authority besides he had a daughter a wife a nephew a sister and amongst so many pledges of love true friends 6. But he strugled with such a long and such a grievous sicknesse that these so great engagements to live were outvied with the reasons of his death 7. He had been troubled with the gout as I heard him say three and thirty years 8. This was hereditary to him for diseases too for the most part as well as other things are delivered by certain successions 9. Whilst his youth lasted he overcame and mastered it by abstinence and sanctity now at last he bare it with the strength of his minde as it encreased in his old age when indeed he endured incredible tortures and most cruell torments 10. For now the pain did not settle in his feet only as it did afore but went over all his limbs 11. I came unto him in the time of Domitian as he lay in his Country-house 12. His servants went away out of the chamber for he used this fashion as oft as any friend that was more trusty came in and his wife also though she was very able to conceal any secret went aside 13. He cast his eyes about And why do you think said he do I abide these so great pains so long a time Truly that I may outlive that villain but one day 14. Had one given this Mind a Body like it he had done what he desired 15. Yet God heard his wish which after he had obtained as one that was now like to die without care and free he brake those many but lesser stays which would have kept him alive 16. His sicknesse had encreased which his temperance strived to mitigate and his constancy avoided when it continued still 17. Now a second third and fourth day he forbore food his wife Hispulla sent to me our common friend Cajus Geminius with a very sad errand that Coraellius had resolved to dye and could neither be perswaded by hers nor his daughters entreaties and that I was the onely man who was able to recall him to life 18. I ra● I was come into the next room when Julius Atticus told me from the same Hispulla that now not so much as I could prevail with him that he was grown more and more obstinately resolute 19. He had said indeed to the Physician that advised him to take meat I am dead which word left as much want as admiration of him in my mind 20. I consider what a friend what a man I want 21. He had lived full threescore and seven years which age is lo●g enough even for those that are the most lustie 22. I know he hath got away from a continuall sicknesse I know he dyed leaving his friends alive after him and when the Commonwealth was in its flourish which he valued more than he did all his friends I know this too 23. Yet I grieve as for the death both of a young man and one that was very strong but I grieve although you may think me weak for my own sake 24 For I have lost I have lost the witnesse the ruler the master of my life let me tell you in short what in my fresh sorrow I told my friend Calvisius I am affraid lest I should live more carelesly 25 Do you therefore apply comforts to me not such as these He was an old man he was infirm for I know these but some new ones but great ones such as I never heard such as I never read 26. For those which I have heard and those which I have read came into my mind of themselves but they are overborn by so great sorrow Farewell 13. C. Plinius to Sosius Senecio c. 1. THis year hath afforded great store of Poets 2. There was not a day almost in all the month of April in wh●ch some one did not read 3. It pleaseth me that studies do flourish that mens wits put forth and shew themselves though they come slowly to hear and many do sit in the walks and spend the time for hearing in talking and ever now and then bid some body bring them word whether the Reader be gone in already whether he hath done with his preface and whether he have almost read out his book or not 4. Then at last and then too they come but slowly and leisurely neither for all that do they tarry it out but go away again before it be done some closely and as if they stole away others openly and freely 5. And truly within the memory of our parents they report that Claudius Caesar when he walked in his palace and heard a noise asked the cause and when it was told him that Nonianus read he went in on him as he read on a suddain and unexpected 6. Now every one that hath least to do being entreated long before and ever and anon put in mind either commeth not at all or if he commeth he complaineth that he hath lost a day because he did not lose it 7. But they be so much the more to be commended and approved on whom this lazinesse or pride of the hearers doth not hinder from their desire to write and recite 8. Truly I failed no man almost the most indeed were my friends 9. And there is no man almost that loveth learning that doth not also love me 10. For these reasons I spent longer time in the city then I had intended 11. I may now retire my self and write something which I must not read openly lest I should seem not to have been a hearer but a creditor to them at whose readings I was present 12. For as in other things so in this charge of reading a good turn is lost if it be demanded again Farewell 14. C. Plinius to his friend Junius Mauricus c. 1. YOu desire me to look out a husband for your brother's daughter which you do well to enjoyne chiefly upon me 2. For you know how much I respected and loved that worthy man and by what exhortations he cherished me
