Classic Poem

Sentiment, Oeconomy, and Greed;
The vices of old states, as of old men:
These three to certain dissolution lead.

For each to each is more than alien;
And each devoureth each with hungry speed;
Till the doomed habitation is a fen.

Sentiment, the vice of honest heart:
Oeconomy, the avarice of age:
Greed the rapacious monster both do thwart.

Greed for his hungry passions war doth wage;
Oeconomy [blank ]
Sentiment sickens at the bloody page.

And each and all have but one niggard sense;
One each and one to all, and all and each
Abuse it to their proper impotence.
