To the Best of Readers Whose Pleasant Voices taught me the Love of Books Dear Father : Dear Mother

O for a book and a shadie nook Eyther in-a-door or out, With the greene leaves whisp'ring overhede, Or the street-cryes all about, Where I may Reade at my ease, Both of the Newe and Olde For a jollie goode Booke, whereon to looke, Is better to me than Golde! -- Old Song
