Ay, thou poor ghost, whiles memory holds a seat
In this distracted globe. Remember thee?

Ill wipe away all trivial fond records,
All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past
That youth and observation copied there,
And thy commandment all alone shall live
Within the book and volume of my brain,”
