So fill’d with awe, and wonder in his looks,
Stood Peter ‘midst this multitude of Books;
But guiltless he and fearless; yet he sigh’d
To think what treasures were to him denied.
But wonder ceases on continued view;
And the Boy sharp for close inspection grew.
Prints on the table he at first survey’d, 570
Then to the Books his full attention paid.
At first, from tome to tome, as fancy led,
He view’d the binding, and the titles read;
