This, books can donor this alone they give New views to life, and teach us how to live They soothe the grieved, the stubborn they chastise Fools they admonish, and confirm the wise. Their aid they yield to all they never shun The man of sorrow, nor the wretch undone Unlike the hard, the selfish, and the proud, They fly not sullen from the suppliant crowd Nor tell to various people various things, But show to subjects, what they show to kings.
