"For him that stealeth a Book from this
Library, let it change into a serpent in his hand and rend
him. Let him be struck with Palsy, and all his Members
blasted. Let him languish in Pain crying aloud for Mercy
and let there be no surcease to his Agony till he sink in
Dissolution. Let Bookworms gnaw his Entrails
in token of the Worm that dieth not, and when at last he
goeth to his final Punishment, let the flames of Hell
consume him for ever and aye."
