it's a rich man's world......THE DEVIL OF MONEY We see people of adventure who hunt this curse To lock it in their purse each judges one’s misfortune that to make awful times better one would have to stop the blither.
All of you who criticise the spirit of this image, have you never paid money any homage? These warriors, these scholars, these learned doctors, These bourgeois, these merchants, this singer, These soldiers, these workers, these galley rowers, In short all of them, I feel much anger.
A whore monkey will become chaste and beautiful if the devil fills her bowl with money in full so money is needed, I am convinced of it.
Everyone wants to have it, even if it’s just one crown, Well, buy it for five shillings, to you I'll give it So you get it all, not bothering a single clown.

LE DIABLE D’ARGENT (early 1700) L’on voit des gens de tous métiers Vous tous qui critiquez l’esprit de cette image Ces bourgeois, ces marchands, ces pauvres musiciens, Une putain guenon deviendra chaste et belle Chacun en veut avoir n’en eut-il qu’un écu

I DON'T CARE
The State of Indifference is a good place to live
When you sit and take note of your life,
You can add up the good and the great happy times
And discard all the troubles and strife
The people you thought would always be there
Can be placed in a box called “Past Days”;
For they seem to have vanished or just do not care,
All involved with their own busy ways.
So now If I think of them, I don't even pause,
The thoughts all flee in a flash.
The one consolation forefront in my mind,
When I die they won't get any cash!!
