Ruri me esse causaris, cum mihi potius queri suppetat te nunc urbe retineri, iam ver decedit aestati et per lineas sol altatus extremas in axem Scythicum radio peregrinante porrigitur, hic quid de regionis nostrae climate loquar? cuius spatia [p. 418] divinum sic tetendit opificium ut magis vaporibus orbis occidui subiceremur. quid plura? mundus incanduit: glacies Alpina deletur et hiulcis arentium rimarum flexibus terra perscribitur; squalet glarea in vadis, limus in ripis, pulvis in campis; aqua ipsa quaecumque perpetuo labens tractu cunctante languescit; iam non solum calet unda sed coquitur.
