Summary
Sending her two verses about "Aphrodise"; discussing the terms "succès aphrodisiaques" and "diluviale"; sarcastically commenting on the comparison between her father and him; thanking her for doing justice to his firm temper; saying that one can only find happiness in good-nature; letting her know he will send the money for her black dress on Friday.
