If thou art borrowed 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, when often lent,
Return to me no more.

Would readers all this rule obey,
For good requite not ill,
These hints need not be penn'd that they
Its dictates should fulfill.
Read slowly,—pause frequently,—
Think seriously.—
Keep cleanly,—return duly,
With the corner of the leaves not turn'd down.
