summary

The beloved answers that on that very same day she dreamt they were doing all these things in that precise place. She urges him to go to the very same place after sundown; then she will explain his dream in person as she should say much more which cannot communicate through writing.

teibody

Iocundari potestis et infra vestre mentis archana inenarrabiliter exultare quod tam pretiosum vobis comparuit sompnium in quo desideratissimos amplexus, basia iocundissima et cetera que secuntur magnifice recepistis. Nam, si bene memini, eadem die ad eiusdem arboris pedes me recolo sompniasse quod vos ibidem videram hec omnia facientes. Ab ea siquidem hora excogitavi sedula quomodo possem vestre magnitudini in omnibus et per omnia complacere.

Verumptamen interpretari sompnium non valeo nisi mecum subeadem arbore iterum quiescatis. Properate igitur ad eundem locum post solis occasum, quoniam ibi proposui explanare sompnium et referre plurima que litteris non audeo annotare.
