THE
PSONGS
OF
NICHOLAS THE SENIOR
The Master of Money fears no one
Psong 43
Who is more blessed than the Master of Money? He reaches out, and whatever he touches is his.
2aHe is the King of the Mountain, and his feet are planted on the summit of other men’s most golden dreams.
3bHe speaks, and all men listen: for if he does not know what he is talking about, then why does he have all that Money?
4cHe commands, and all men leap to obey; for if he has his way, then he may give a generous tip to those who have been the most obsequious.
5dHe scolds, and all men are very very sorry; for if he is angry, there may be no Christmas bonus.
6eHe smiles, and all men smile in return; for if he is pleased, there is nothing to worry about today.
7fBut for the Master of Money, all days are the same; there is nothing to worry about, and no one to fear.
