Come, and take choice of all my library,
And so beguile thy sorrow.

From mine own library with volumes that
I prize above my dukedom.

O let my books be then the eloquence
And dumb presagers of my speaking breast,
Who plead for love and look for recompense
More than that tongue that more hath more expressed.
