Quippe non prompte veniam impertire rarenter adeundi assiduitatem eius requirentis est, summumque argumentum amoris frequentibus delectari, cessantibus obirasci, perseverantem celebrare, desinentem desiderare, quoniam necesse est <gratam praesentiam> eiusdem esse cuius angat absentia.
For being reluctant to excuse someone for the rarity of his visits is a sign that you miss his attentions, and the highest proof of affection is to be pleased by regular visitors and to be vexed by infrequent ones, to praise the faithful friend and to miss the one who no longer comes; since inevitably one who gives pleasure by his presence also pains by his absence.
