Tertius iam praeterit annus, cum interim
nihil ex primo illo impetu cecidit ; renovat se et
corroborat cotidie luctus et iam sibi ius mora fecit
[p. 8]
eoque adductus est, ut putet turpe desinere. Quem-
admodum omnia vitia penitus insidunt, nisi, dum
surgunt, oppressa sunt, ita haec quoque tristia et
misera et in se saevientia ipsa novissime acerbitate
pascuntur et fit infelicis animi prava voluptas dolor.
