A Roman knows!
BOOK-LARCENY.
Sir Walter Scott said that some of his friends were bad accountants, but excellent book-keepers.
How hard, when those who do not wish
To lend—that’s lose—their books,
Are snared by anglers—folks that fish
With literary hooks;
Who call and take some favorite tome,
But never read it through;
They thus complete their sett at home,
