O good again, past expectation good: I thank my blessed angel; never, never, Laid I penny better out than this, To purchase this dear book: not dear for price, And yet of me as dearly prized as life, Since in it is contained the very life, Blood, strength, and sinews of my happiness: Blessed be the hour wherein I bought this book, His studies happy that composed the book, And the man fortunate that sold the book: Sleep with this charm, and be as true to me As I am joyed and confident in thee.
