First Line: Because with bought books, sir, your study's fraught
Last Line: The merchant now, the fiddler the next day.
Subject(s): Books; Reading


BECAUSE with bought books, sir, your study's fraught,
A learned grammarian you would fain be thought.
Nay, then, buy lutes and strings; so you may play
The merchant now, the fiddler the next day.
