Next him in Dance came Covetyce,

Root of all evil, and ground of vice,

That never could be content:

Catives, wretches, and ockeraris,[129]

Hudpikes,[130] hoarders, gatheraris,

All with that warlock went:

Out of their throats they shot on other

Het, molten gold, me thocht, a futher[131]

As fire-flaucht maist fervent;

Aye as they toomit them of shot,

Fiends filled them new up to the throat

With gold of all kind prent.[132]
