If thou art borrow'd by a friend,

Right welcome shall he be, To read, to study, not to lend,

But to return to me.

Not that imparied knowledge doth

Dimninish learnins store,
But books. I find, if often lent,

Re uso to ine no more,

Keep cleanly, re urn duly, with the corners of the leaves not

turned down.
