Quintus Aurelius Symmachus → Rome and
Tradução moderna em inglês
Fortune often upsets the best-laid plans -- and that's exactly what happened to me. I'd planned to visit the Etruscan hot springs [in Tuscany] for my health but was held back by business in Rome. So I won't impose any delay on you. On the contrary, I urge and demand: hurry back to Rome and restore to us the joy of your company, which I didn't get to enjoy even in the suburbs. Farewell.
