Take thy right place! Thou mak'st my heart beat quick,

But yet I'll bury thee: thou'lt go, strong thief,

Orthodox keepers of thee cannot stand

Against a passionate prophet's promulgation

Of a new economic revelation.

"Put up your gold!" But put up silver, too,

(As Walsh, and Grenfell, and Sage Chaplin urge),

Or banded Europe—some day—shall smash up

Our City to financial chaos. Aye!

I may talk lightly about trivial things,
