quae iubes non sunt improbabilia; quamquam et hoc ipsum, quod pie iniungis, arduum existat ac laudi quantulaecumque iam semel partae non opportunum, primum, quod opusculo prius edito praesentis augmenti sera coniunctio est; deinde, quod arbitros ante quoscumque, nisi fallimur, indecentissimum est materiae unius simplex principium, triplices epilogos inveniri.
Your demand is laudable enough; and yet the task which your affection lays upon me is in itself a difficult one and unlikely to enhance such meagre commendation as I have already gained: first, because the present is a rather late addition to the trifling work previously published, and secondly, because, if I mistake not, any judge must regard it as highly improper that the same body of material should have one single beginning and three epilogues.
