歌词
Macaulay once says in a charming letter to a little girl,
"If any one would make me the greatest king that ever lived, “
with palaces and gardens and fine dinners, and wines and coaches, and beautiful clothes, and hundreds of servants,
on condition that I should not read books.
I would not be a king.
I would rather be a poor man in a garret with plenty of books than a king who did not love reading."
