    I see, the jewel best enamelled
    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.

Commerce has set the mark of selfishness,
The signet of its all-enslaving power
Upon a shining ore, and called it gold;
Before whose image bow the vulgar great,
The vainly rich, the miserable proud,
The mob of peasants, nobles, priests, and kings,
And with blind feelings reverence the power
That grinds them to the dust of misery.
But in the temple of their hireling hearts
Gold is a living god, and rules in scorn
All earthly things but virtue.
