Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED FGFGHIHI JKJKLILI| A thousand books my library | A |
| Contains | B |
| And all are primed it seems to me | A |
| With brains | B |
| Mine are so few I scratch in thought | C |
| My head | D |
| For just a hundred of the lot | E |
| I've read | D |
| - | |
| A hundred books but of the best | F |
| I can | G |
| With wisdom savour and digest | F |
| And scan | G |
| Yet when afar from kin and kith | H |
| In nooks | I |
| Of quietness I'm happy with | H |
| Sweet books | I |
| - | |
| So as nine hundred at me stare | J |
| In vain | K |
| My lack I'm wistfully aware | J |
| Of brain | K |
| Yet as my leave of living ends | L |
| With looks | I |
| Of love I view a hundred friends | L |
| My books | I |
