[What harm to raise a fortune fair]

The deceitfulness of riches, choke the word. —xiii. 22.

What harm to raise a fortune fair,
What harm a fortune fair to' increase?
The lust of gold, the thorns of care
Choke every seed of righteousness:
273

And when the fiend is enter'd in,
We cloke our covetous desire,
We justify our gainful sin,
Till Satan pays his slaves their hire.
