O how beautiful is a generous spirit, such as only you can inspire, O Money!
2Indeed I still cannot believe what has occurred, and I suspect that you have had a hand in this miracle, O Most Blessed Money.
3This afternoon, I beheld a ayoung man make his fortune in wheat futures, and in his ecstasy he showered me with coins and paper.
4Praise be to you, O Money, light of my life!
5My gratitude knows no bounds, O Money, and I will never forget you when I too have made my fortune in wheat futures.
6bYea, I gathered up the coins and bills, counting every one with trembling hands; and then I took a cplunge in your name, O Money, a plunge toward the heaven of your golden beneficence.
7dWish me luck, O Money; for luck is your son, and the blessed fruit of your loins.
8Please wish me luck, O Money. Please please please please please please please, O Money.
