Ephemeris IV. — Going Out
Translated by Hugh G. Evelyn-White (1919–21) · From Book II. — The Daily Round
Now I have prayed enough to God, albeit we sinful men can never entreat Heaven enough. Boy I Bring me my morning coat. I must exchange my "Hail" and "Farewell" with my friends. But since the sun for four full hours has urged on his steeds and now verges towards noon, I needs must speak a word with Sosias.
