[Your servant, master wise man]
Your servant, master wise man,
And yet you have no books:
How can one have knowledge,
That no man instructs?
And yet you have no books:
How can one have knowledge,
That no man instructs?
Your servant, master bishop,
Your salutation's good:
Your knowledge is in your library,
While other's is in their hood.
Your salutation's good:
Your knowledge is in your library,
While other's is in their hood.
Good night, hail master bishop,
Of books you have great store;
Yet cannot read the half of them;
Then what use are they for?
