Et quia +gravem tibi esse absentiam meam scirem, ne me forte impium esse erga te +existimares, qui tam diu a te abessem: excusare tibi et profectionem +meam et moras volui, ut intelligeres me non impie tibi, sed utiliter +deesse. Namque cum te, filia, ut unicam, ita, quantum a me est, et +unanimem habeam; vellem te pulcherrimam omnium et sanissimam vivere. + +2. _Hilarius abest, ut vestem et margaritam pretiosam filiae +conquirat._--Nuntiatum ergo mihi est, esse quemdam juvenem, habentem +margaritam et vestem inaestimabilis pretii: quam si quis ab eo posset +mereri, super humanas divitias et salutem et dives et salvus fieret. Ad +hunc[b] his auditis profectus sum: ad quem cum per multas et longas et +difficiles vias venissem, videns eum statim procidi. Adest enim tam +pulcher juvenis, ut ante conspectum ejus nemo audeat consistere. Qui ubi +me procidisse vidit, interrogari me jussit quid vellem, et quid rogarem: +et ego respondi, audisse me de veste sua et margarita, et ob id venisse; +et si eam mihi dignaretur praestare, esse mihi filiam quam vehementer +diligerem, cui hanc vestem atque margaritam quaererem. Et[c] inter haec +prostratus in faciem fleo plurimum, et noctibus ac diebus ingemiscens, +rogo uti audire dignaretur precem meam. + +3. _Vestis haec et margarita quanti facienda._--Post quae, quia bonus est +juvenis et[d] melius illo nihil est, ait mihi, Nosti hanc vestem atque +hanc margaritam, quam a me lacrymis rogas uti eam filiae tuae concedam? Et +ego respondi illi, Domine, auditu cognovi de ipsis, et fide credidi: et +scio quia optimae sunt, et salus vera est hac veste uti, et hac margarita +ornari. Et statim ministris suis praecepit, ut mihi et vestem hanc et +margaritam ostenderent: et confestim ita fit. Ac vestem primo vidi: +vidi, filia, vidi quod eloqui non possum. Numquid non sericum secundum +subtilitatem ejus[e] spartum erat? Numquid candori ejus nives comparatae +non nigrescebant? Numquid aurum juxta fulgorem ejus non lividatur? Ipsa +enim multicolor, et nihil prorsus comparatum ei poterat aequari. Post +quam vidi margaritam: qua visa statim concidi. Non enim potuerunt oculi +mei sustinere tantum ejus colorem. Nam nec coeli, nec lucis, nec maris, +nec terrae species pulcritudini ejus poterat comparari. + +4. _Utriusque commoda et dotes._--Et cum prostratus jacerem, ait mihi +quidam de assistentibus, Video te sollicitum et bonum patrem esse, et +hanc vestem atque hanc margaritam ad filiam tuam desiderare: sed ut +magis desideres, ostendo tibi quid adhuc haec vestis atque margarita boni +habeat. Vestis haec numquam tineis comeditur, non usu atteritur, non +sorde inficitur, non vi scinditur, non damno amittitur: sed semper talis +qualis est permanet. Margaritae vero haec virtus est, ut si quis eam +induerit, non aegrotet, non senescat, non moriatur. Nihil omnino in se +habet, quod sit[f] noxium corpori: sed utenti ea nihil accidit, quod aut +mortem afferat, aut aetatem demutet, aut impediat sanitatem. Quod ubi +audivi, filia, exanimari magis desiderio margaritae et vestis istius +coepi: et sicut prostratus jacebam, indeficienti fletu et intenta +oratione juvenem precari coepi, dicens: Domine sancte, miserere preci +meae, et miserere sollicitudini et vitae meae. Si enim hanc vestem mihi et +margaritam non concedis, miser futurus sum, filiamque meam[g] viventem +perditurus: ego propter hanc vestem et margaritam peregrinari volo. +Scis, Domine, quia tibi non mentior. + + [+527+] + +5. _Hilarii filiae promittuntur, modo vana ornamenta abjiciat._--Post +quam vocem meam audivit, jubet me levare; et ait mihi, moverunt me +preces et lacrymae tuae, et bene est quod hoc credidisti. Et quia dixisti, +te pro hac margarita ipsam vitam tuam velle impendere, non possum eam +tibi negare: sed scire debes propositum et voluntatem meam. Vestis, quam +ego dedero, talis est, ut[h] si quis voluerit veste alia colorata et +serica et aurata uti, vestem meam capere non possit. Sed illi dabo eam, +quae contenta sit, non serico habitu, sed[i] nativis coloribus et +insumptuoso textu vestiri: ita ut propter consuetudinem, purpuram[k] +perangustam vestis habeat: non etiam purpura ipsa[l] diffundatur in +vestem. Margarita vero, quam a me petis, naturae ejus est, ut habere eam +nemo possit, qui margaritam aliam habuerit: quia aliae margaritae aut de +terra aut de mari sunt; mea autem, ut ipse tu vides, speciosa et +pretiosa est, incomparabilis et coelestis est, nec dignatur ibi esse ubi +aliae sunt. Non enim rebus meis convenit cum rebus hominis: quia qui +veste mea et margarita utitur, in aeternum sanus est; non febre +exardescit, non vulneri patet, non annis demutatur, non morte +dissolvitur;[m] aequalis enim semper et aeternus est. Ego tamen hanc +vestem et hanc margaritam meam petenti tibi dabo, ut eam filiae tuae +perferas. Sed prius scire debes quid velit filia tua. Si se hujus vestis +et margaritae meae dignam faciat, id est, si vestes sericas et auratas et +infectas habere noluerit, si omnem margaritam alteram oderit; tunc haec +quae me rogas tibi praestabo. + +6. _Filiam hortatur ut modestis utatur vestibus._--Post quam vocem, +filia, laetus exsurgo, et secretum hoc habens, hanc ad te epistolam feci: +rogans te per multas lacrymas meas, ut te huic vesti et margaritae +reserves, neque miserum senem tali damno tuo[n] facias, si hanc vestem +et hanc margaritam non habueris. Testor[o] autem tibi, filia, Deum coeli +et terrae, quia nihil hac veste atque hac margarita pretiosius est; et +tui juris est, ut hanc habeas. Tu modo,[p] si quando tibi vestis alia +afferatur, vel serica, vel infecta, vel deaurata, dicito ei qui tibi +offert: Ego vestem alteram exspecto, propter quam pater meus a me tam +diu peregrinatur, quam mihi quaerit, quam non possum habere si hanc +habuero. Sufficit mihi lana ovis meae, sufficit mihi color quem natura +attulit, sufficit mihi textus insumptuosus: caeterum vestem illam +desidero, quae dicitur non absumi, non atteri, non scindi. At vero si +tibi margarita offeratur aut suspendenda collo, aut digito coaptanda, +dices ita, Non mihi impedimento sint istae inutiles et sordidae margaritae: +sed exspecto illam pretiosissimam, pulcherrimam et utilissimam. Credo +patri meo, quia et[q] ille ei, qui hanc spopondit sibi, credidit, +propter quam mihi significavit se etiam mori velle: hanc exspecto, hanc +desidero, quae mihi praestabit salutem et aeternitatem. + + [hanc margaritam +528+ non habueris.] + +7. _Filiae exspectat rescriptum. Hymnus matutinus et serotinus. Abrae +mater._--Ergo, filia, subveni sollicitudini meae, et hanc epistolam meam +semper lege, et huic vesti et margaritae te reserva. Et ipsa tu mihi, +nullum interrogans, quibuslibet potes litteris rescribe, utrum vesti +huic et margaritae te reserves, ut sciam quid juveni illi respondeam: +et ut si illam desideras, si exspectas, laetus possim ad te reditum +cogitare. Cum autem mihi rescripseris, tunc tibi et ego quis sit hic +juvenis, et qualis sit, et quid velit, et quid promittat, et quid +possit, indicabo. Interim tibi hymnum matutinum et serotinum misi, ut +memor mei semper sis. Tu vero si minus per aetatem hymnum et epistolam +intellexeris, interroga matrem tuam, quae optat ut te moribus suis +genuerit Deo. Deus qui te genuit, hic et in aeternum custodiat opto, +filia desideratissima. + + + [Annotatio a: In plerisque mss. _Aprae_.] + + [Annotatio b: In uno ms.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. |
