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 learnings store,/But Books I find if often lent/Return to me no more./Read slowly:pause frequently./Think seriously; keep cleanly;/return duly, with the corners of/the leaves not turned down./[E. Mason]
