He imagined a Mine

Filled with gold, pure and fine,

And a lovely Prospectus began to design

Every item worked out with precision.

He imagined Big Dividends; profits galore;

And some Dukes he imagined Directors.

And "the Public should share,"

He went on to declare,

"In such wealth as should cause the whole nation to stare."

There were Thousands—in Shares—for Projectors.
