Tis gold, Which makes the true man killed, and saves the thief; Nay, sometimes hangs both thief and true man; what Can it not do, and undo? (Latin Proverb)
Tis folly to love fetters, though they be of gold. (Latin Proverb)
Riches too increase, and the maddening craving for gold, So that men ever seek for more, that they may have the most. (Latin Proverb)
