THIS BOOK / BELONGS TO / COL.LL. PHILIPPS. / 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. / Read slowly, pause frequently, / think seriously, keep cleanly, re-/turn duly, with the corners of the / leaves not turned down.
