Sir Jeffery.
"I knew him not, but this I know,
What pleasure to his works I owe;
And you will meet my partial whim—
Prove that you e'er belong'd to him.
Treasur'd within that curtain'd case,
His works possess a favour'd place;
And if the binding aught can tell,
They show that I respect them well.
Go, take a volume down, and look—
Perhaps, my friend, you know the book."
