CHAPTER CXII.—p. 86.
HUNTING IN AN EASY CHAIR. THE DOCTOR'S BOOKS.
That place that does contain My books, the best companions, is to me A glorious court, where hourly I converse With the old sages and philosophers; And sometimes for variety I confer 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.
