The Insatiableness of Avarice + 

Though the covetous grown wealthy + 

See his piles of gold rise high; + 

Though he gather store of treasure + 

That can never satisfy; + 

Though with pearls his gorget blazes, + 

Rarest that the ocean yields; + 

Though a hundred head of oxen + 

Travail in his ample fields; + 

Ne’er shall carking care forsake him + 

While he draws this vital breath, + 

And his riches go not with him, + 

When his eyes are closed in death. + 
