Cum primum Burdigalam veni, litteras mihi tabellarius tuus obtulit plenas nectaris florum margaritarum, quibus silentium meum culpas et aliquos versuum meorum versibus poscis, qui tibi solent per musicum palati concavum tinnientes voce variata quasi tibiis multiforatilibus effundi.
As soon as I arrived at Bordeaux, your courier handed me a letter full of nectar and flowers and pearls. In it you complain of my silence and demand some of my own verses, using verse to do so'and, in your case, verses are wont to ring through the musical concavity of the mouth and to come streaming forth in varied tones as from flutes of many holes.
