    Some book there is that she desires to see.
    Which is it, girl, of these? Open them, boy.
    But thou art deeper read and better skilled:
    Come and take choice of all my library,
    And so beguile thy sorrow, till the heavens
    Reveal the damned contriver of this deed.

That place that does contain
My books, the best companions, is to me
A glorious court, where hourly I converse

With kings and emperors, and weigh their counsels;
Calling their victories, if unjustly got,
Unto a strict account, and, in my fancy,
Deface their ill-placed statues.

round his book-shelves.
