Cheap Therapy

From my office’s library:

(Found in the Library of the Popish Monastery of San Pedro, at Barcelona - 1712 AD)

“…For him that stealeth a Book from this Library, let him
be changed to 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 Mary and let there
be no surcease to his Agony till he be sent to Dissolution

Let Bookworms gnaw his Entrails in token of that worm
that dieth not, and when at last he goeth to his final
Punishment, let the Flames of Hell consume him, forever
and aye.”

(Found in Department of Agriculture Library - 2001 AD)
