Obtulimus, ut cernis, quod cantilenae recentis obvium manui fuit; sed nec hoc minus, si moras nectis, astra quatiemus, versibus quoque satirographis, si res exegerit, usuri, quos huic carmini lenitate adaequandos falso putabis.
I have passed on to you, as you see, the only bit of my recent doggerel that I had ready to hand; but that will not keep me from shaking the welkin if you persist in tarrying; and, should the case require it, I will even resort to satire, and you will be wrong if you think my satiric verses will match this poem in mildness.
