Pray thee, take care, that tak’st my book in hand, To read it well; that is, to understand. BEN JONSON: _Epigram_ 1 When I would know thee ... my thought looks Upon thy well made choice of friends and books; Then do I love thee, and behold thy ends In making thy friends books, and thy books friends. BEN JONSON: _Epigram_ 86 If worlds were formed by matter, And mankind from the dust; Till time shall end more timely, There’s nothing here to trust. Thenceforth to evolution’s Geology, we say,— Nothing have we gained therefrom, And nothing have to pray: My world has sprung from Spirit, In everlasting day; Whereof, I’ve more to glory, Wherefor, have much to pay.
