Because he achieves incunabula leaves,
On himself as a scholar he’ll look;
Though I’m ready to bet no scholar I’ve met
Has ever collected a book!
The difference, you see, in the viewpoint must be,
And it is a distinction nice;
A scholar will look at the worth of a book,
A collector will think of its price.
He nearly bursts with pride in his firsts;
And you can’t get it into his dome
