Gold! and gold! the new and the old!

The company ate and drank from gold,

They revell'd, they sang, and were merry;

And one of the Gold Sticks rose from his chair,

And toasted "the Lass with the golden hair"

In a bumper of Golden Sherry.

LVII.

Gold! still gold! it rained on the nurse,

Who—unlike Danäe—was none the worse!

There was nothing but guineas glistening!
