The 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-plac'd statutes.
