[Ex Libris S. T. C.]

This, Hannah Scollock! may have been the case;

Your writing therefore I will not erase.

But now this Book, once yours, belongs to me,

The Morning Post's and Courier's S. T. C.;—

Elsewhere in College, knowledge, wit and scholarage

To Friends and Public known as S. T. Coleridge.

Witness hereto my hand, on Ashley Green,

One thousand, twice four hundred, and fourteen

Year of our Lord—and of the month November

The fifteenth day, if right I do remember.
