" Gold! Gold! Gold! Gold! Blight and yellow, hard and cold, Molten, graven, hammer'd, and roll'd; Heavy to get, and light to hold ; Stolen, borrow'd, squander'd, doled; Spurned by the young, but hugged by the-t To the very verge of the church -yard mou j Prior of many a crime untold, Gold ! Gold .' Gold ! Gold ! Good or bad a thousand fold. How widely its agencies vary ; To save, to i uin, to curse, to bless ; , And even its minted coin expressNow stamped with the image of Good Queen Bess, And now of bloody M.iry."
