A poem, which reads 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 imparted knowledge doth Diminish learning's store; But books I find if often lent, Return to me no more. Read slowly—Pause Frequently—Return duly—with the corners of the leaves not turn'd down.
