"Gold! gold! gold! gold! Bright and yellow, hard and cold; Molten, graven, hammered and rolled; Heavy to get and light to hold; Hoarded, bartered, bought and sold, Stolen, borrowed, squandered, doled; Spurned by the young, but hugged by the old To the very verge of the church-yard mold; Price of many a crime untold. Gold! gold! gold! gold! Good or bad a thousand-fold!"
