Rich Misers Compared to Devouring Whales

I CAN compare our rich misers to nothing so fitly as to a whale; he plays and tumbles, driving the poor fry before him, and at last devours them all at a mouthful. Such whales have I heard on the land, who never leave gaping, till they've swallowed the whole parish—church, steeple, bells and all.—Shakspeare.
