Ep. LV.

An Invitation.  You flee when I pursue you:  perhaps in accordance with the laws of love, to make yourself more valuable.  Come then, and fill up at last the loss I have suffered by your long delay.  And if any home affairs detain you, you shall leave us again, and so make yourself more precious as an object of desire.
