“Divided I’m a gentleman
In public deeds and powers;
United, I’m a monster, who
That gentleman devours.”
To which the answer is A-gent.
“You may lie on my first by the side of a stream,
And my second compose to the nymph you adore;
But if, when you’ve none of my whole, her esteem
And affection diminish—think of her no more.”
Which is easily read as Bank-note.
