 A precious -- mouldering pleasure -- 'tis --
To meet an Antique Book --
In just the Dress his Century wore --
A privilege -- I think --

His venerable Hand to take --
And warming in our own --
A passage back -- or two -- to make --
To Times when he -- was young --

His quaint opinions -- to inspect --

On Themes concern our mutual mind --
The Literature of Man --

What Competitions ran --

And Beatrice wore

As One should come to Town --
And tell you all your Dreams -- were true --
