The man whose riches satisfy his greed 
Is not more rich for all those heaps and hoards 
Than some poor man who has enough to feed 
And clothe his corpse with such as God affords. 

I have no use for men who steal and cheat; 
The fruit of evil poisons those who eat. 

Some wicked men are rich, some good men poor, 
But I would rather trust in what's secure; 
Our virtue sticks with us and makes us strong, 
But money changes owners all day long.
