THE MISER'S SONG.
The raptures of my heart I sing, 
That from my bags of money spring:
For they have wond'rous charms;
Dear precious things, I love them so, 
That I with eager hast will go.
And hug them in my arms.
. . . [3 verses]
O, when I hear my guineas ring, 
'Tis sweeter than the pipe or string
To my delighted ears;
. . . [3 more lines, one more verse]
