– – – Sed nihil tantus labor profuit. Tuum enim in hoc sum, ut
illatam à Mundo nostris Manibus ac meritis pio conatu auferam
controversiam, alios Amicorum mors avocat; hi frigescunt; illi
pauperascunt: alii vana spe lactant; hi trepidare faciunt;
intercedunt illi, mecum soliciti: his invitus sum; illis
honoratus; multis fortasse suspectens; soli Deo notus. Interea
anni defluunt, aetas languescit, vita admodum festinat; ego vero,
tantis malis fissus ac languens, humanaeque satur infidelitatis,
tandem acquiesco, et venientes olim expecto in votis Deos.

“– – – However, all these efforts were worth of nothing. I am
yours, inasmuch I take up the dispute put into our hands and
entrusted to us by the world. Some of our friends have been
summoned by death; some have been reduced to poverty; others are
nourished by vain hopes; some I fear and some upset me; some steer
clear of me and some honour me; and only God knows me. In the
meantime the years pass on, and old age is nearing; and I,
troubled and weighed down by so many woes, and surfeited with the
unfaithfulness of people, finally acquiesce and look forward with
prayers to the arrival of the gods.”
To the eminent and noble young Ferenc Pápai Páriz, my long awaited
and finally discovered relative, I recommend my services and good
memory, and finally, leaving the riches of Britanny, I leave this
farewell present
András Nánásy, Hungarian
peregrinating student.
In London, on July 16, 1723, by the old
