Title:     Verses Written In The Folio Album Of A Learned Friend
Author: Frederich Schiller [More Titles by Schiller]

Once wisdom dwelt in tomes of ponderous size,
While friendship from a pocketbook would talk;
But now that knowledge in small compass lies,
And floats in almanacs, as light as cork,
Courageous man, thou dost not hesitate
To open for thy friends this house so great!
Hast thou no fear, I seriously would ask,
That thou may'st thus their patience overtask?

[The end]
Frederich Schiller's poem: Verses Written In The Folio Album Of A Learned Friend
