ceterum diluculo familia praecesserat ad duodeviginti milia passuum fixura tentorium, quo quidem loci sarcinulis relaxandis multa succedunt conducibilia, fons gelidus in colle nemoroso, subditus ager herbis abundans, fluvius ante oculos avibus ac pisce multo refertus, praeter haec iunctam habens ripae domum novam vetus amicus, cuius inmensae humanitati nec si adquiescas nec si recuses modum ponas.
My servants had gone on ahead of me at the first streak of dawn, intending to pitch their tent eighteen miles on, in a place with great advantages for breaking the journey, a cool spring on a wooded slope, with rich grass-land down below, a river abounding in birds and fishes before their eyes, and, besides that, an old friend with a new house close to the bank, a man to whose immeasurable kindness you could set no bounds, whether you accepted or declined it.
