      "Let my temptation be a book,",
      "Which I shall purchase, hold, and keep,",
      "Whereon when other men shall look,",
      "They 'll wail to know I got it cheap.",
      "Oh, let it such a volume be",
      "As in rare copperplates abounds,",
      "Large paper, clean, and fair to see,",
      "Uncut, unique, unknown to Lowndes."
