Let no butter stains get on it (For one pound of silver each one costs) And Ink spots carefully keep off. And leave no mule's ears Simply lay in a piece of parchment. But above all give me back my book Or else my curse will fall on you. So, therefore I hereby advise you as above.
Especially keep it from dust and light
