"Sweet is the scholar's life,
busy about his studies,
the sweetest lot in Ireland
as all of you know well.
No king or prince to rule him
nor lord however mighty,
no rent to the chapterhouse,
no drudging, no dawn-rising.
Dawn-rising or shepherding
never required of him,
no need to take his turn
as watchman in the night.
He spends a while at chess,
and a while with the pleasant harp
and a further while wooing
and winning lovely women.
His horse-team hale and hearty
at the first coming of Spring;
the harrow for his team
is a fistful of pens."
-Anonymous (17th century Ireland), The Scholar's Life, tr. Thomas Kinsella in The New Oxford Book of Irish Verse (Oxford University Press, 1986), p. 156:
"Curiously enough, one cannot read a book: one can only reread it. A good reader, a major reader, an active and creative reader is a rereader."
