THE MONIAD. 53 McCollough hoards a dangerous heap of gold, He holds the trumps, his finance play is bold, The currency he now contracts, expands, As suits his game, or policy demands ; A man should hug the principal to rest, Not pay the debt and stop the interest ; By this strange process, so the Treasurer says, One's credit's better, though one never pays. There Dent & Co. For many millions down Offer their creditors but half a crown. And Chapin at the Derby sweeps the stakes, And near a milli...on honorably makes. The prize in "corners" seldom has been won, Leighton goes down while working Cory don. Ward yields to copper, Work to Hestonville, For brief timed joys they get a world of ill ; In place of nectar gulp a bitter pill. How like a strumpet, stripped of tinsel, paint, And all those gewgaws that bespeak her taint, Would our financial men and world appear, If but disrobed of all their vices dear. 54 THE MONIAD. If all the plans of profit, tricks to win, Were gathered in a separate world of sin.
