Show 1 BALLADE OF WORLDLY WEALTH. Money t&keth town and wall, Fort and ramp without a blow. Money moves the merchants all While the tides shall ebb and flow. Sloney maketh evil show Like the good and truth like lies. These alone c&n ne'er bestow Youth and health and paradise. Money makctH festival, Wine she buys and beds can strow. Round the necks of captains tall Money wins them chains to throw, Marches soldiers to and fro, Gaineth ladies with sweet eye3. These alone can ne'er bestow Youth and health and paradise. Money wins the priest his stalL Money miters buys, I trow, Red hats for the cardinal. Abbeys for the novice low. Money maketh sin as snow. Place of penitence supplies. These alone can ne'er bestow Youth and health and p;-idise. I Andrew Lang in Puu.ic Opinion. |
