Psong 46
pO what a great thing is Pleasure! The flesh is made to feel, and there is no end of ways to make the flesh feel good.
2If you have enough Money, you can make every one of the senses jump up and down with joy.
3aIf you have enough Money, you can fill your ears with beautiful music, from dawn to dawn.
4bIf you have enough Money, you can fill your mouth with exquisite delicacies, and never taste the same thing twice.
5cIf you have enough Money, you can fill your nose with the most exotic and tempting aromas, and then you can give in to every one of your temptations.
6dIf you have enough Money, you can fill your eyes with beauty, and then you can take its clothes off with your teeth, if that’s what you want to do.
7eIf you have enough Money, you can cover your skin with miraculous sensations, and no one will send the police to tell you to stop it.
8Yea, if more men could afford Pleasure, they would learn to turn away from the cold and heartless god called Money.
