Valentines From A Bibliophile

Topics: classic

Lyke some choise booke thou arte toe mee,      Bound all so daintilie;      And 'neath the covers faire      Are contents true and rare.      Ne wolde I looke      Ne reade inne any other booke      If I belyke could find therein the charte      And indice to thy hearte.      The Great Wise Authour made but one      Of this edition, then was don;      And were this onlie copie mine,      Then wolde I write therein, "My Valentyne."
