Her wiles for other men a treasure vast.

Old Books, his master mind could comprehend

Are shown to us as pictures to a child.

Read on—and when the volume’s put away,

Muse on the learnings thou hast found therein;

The time thus spent thou never will repent,

For love of good things all should seek and find.

(E. P. H. 16 11/12 V.)
