TO TORQUATUS The snows are fled, the herbage now returns to the fields, and the leaves to the trees. That you are not to expect things permanent, the year, and the hour that hurries away the agreeable day, admonish us.

Who knows whether the gods above will add to this day 's reckoning the space of tomorrow? Every thing, which you shall indulge to your beloved soul, will escape the greedy hands of your heir.
