    How quickly nature falls into revolt
    When gold becomes her object!
    For this the foolish overcareful fathers
    Have broke their sleep with thoughts, their brains with care.
    Their bones with industry.
    For this they have engrossed and piled up
    The cankered heaps of strange-achieved gold;
    For this they have been thoughtful to invest
    Their sons with arts and martial exercises.

Will lose his beauty; yet the gold bides still
That others touch, and often touching will
Wear gold; and no man that hath a name,
By falsehood and corruption doth it shame.
