My dear Sir:
I do not multiply my assertions for the purpose of proving my love to
you, because my resolution and your desert is enough proof of it. My
affection no longer has any rein, etc. May grace be to him who gives
grace.
My own Signor:
I tell you, do not be surprised if my mother was at the window,
because she was looking at the one who was setting the sofa in order.
And therefore you can pass here without fear. When more at my leisure,
I will write you some fine matters, etc. When they tell me anything, I
will advise you of it.
My Adored Mirtillo, My own Life:
I pray you pardon me that I did not look at you yesterday when I was

to look at my Sun. But I saw mine own with my heart, in which I have
you engraved. I remain as I am and shall be
Your devoted servant and faithful sweetheart,
AMARILLIS.
My well-beloved:
I have received your letter, which has given me much pain, etc., that
the Jealous One might have seen the letters. And he did see them, but
did not open them, because they were tied up together, and he supposed
that they were other letters, and did not take them into his hand.
This fellow is telling it because he would like you to get angry with
me, etc. You ask me if I am of the same thought, and I tell you yes.
If you have not changed, I am ready to do what I have told you, etc.
Then soon, if they continue to drink red wine, I will tell you so.
Whether you are of the same mind still, or have repented of it, I am
content to do what you wish, etc. I remain as I have been
