[Avaro's Rich! What's that to me?]
L'Illusion des Avares est de prendre l'or et l'argent pour des
biens au lieu que ce ne sont que des Moiens pour en avoir.
Rochefaucault.
Avaro 's Rich! What's that to me?
If neither Meat, nor Drink, I see.
He cannot bear to part with Gold;
And I hate Hunger, Thirst, and Cold.
Give me good Eating, and good Drinking;
Let others live on Guinea-chinking.
At Dinner, who's the Fool so great,
To quit the Stake, and ring the Plate?
