Though care and strife	A
Elsewhere be rife	A
Upon my word I do not heed 'em	B
In bed I lie	C
With books hard by	C
And with increasing zest I read 'em	B
	-
Propped up in bed	D
So much I've read	D
Of musty tomes that I've a headful	C
Of tales and rhymes	E
Of ancient times	E
Which wife declares are simply dreadful	C
	-
They give me joy	F
Without alloy	F
And isn't that what books are made for	G
And yet and yet	H
Ah vain regret	H
I would to God they all were paid for	G
	-
No festooned cup	I
Filled foaming up	I
Can lure me elsewhere to confound me	J
Sweeter than wine	K
This love of mine	K
For these old books I see around me	J
	-
A plague I say	L
On maidens gay	L
I'll weave no compliments to tell 'em	B
Vain fool I were	M
Did I prefer	M
Those dolls to these old friends in vellum	B
	-
At dead of night	N
My chamber's bright	N
Not only with the gas that's burning	O
But with the glow	C
Of long ago	C
Of beauty back from eld returning	O
	-
Fair women's looks	P
I see in books	P
I see them and I hear their laughter	M
Proud high born maids	Q
Unlike the jades	Q
Which men folk now go chasing after	M
	-
Herein again	R
Speak valiant men	R
Of all nativities and ages	S
I hear and smile	C
With rapture while	C
I turn these musty magic pages	S
	-
The sword the lance	T
The morris dance	T
The highland song the greenwood ditty	J
Of these I read	D
Or when the need	U
My Miller grinds me grist that's gritty	J
	-
When of such stuff	V
We've had enough	V
Why there be other friends to greet us	W
We'll moralize	X
In solemn wise	X
With Plato or with Epictetus	X
	-
Sneer as you may	B
I'm proud to say	B
That I for one am very grateful	C
To Heaven that sends	X
These genial friends	X
To banish other friendships hateful	C
	-
And when I'm done	Y
I'd have no son	Y
Pounce on these treasures like a vulture	M
Nay give them half	Z
My epitaph	Z
And let them share in my sepulture	M
	-
Then when the crack	A2
Of doom rolls back	A2
The marble and the earth that hide me	J
I'll smuggle home	B
Each precious tome	B
Without a fear my wife shall chide me	J
