    How beauteous are rouleaus! how charming chests
    Containing ingots, bags of dollars, coins
    (Not of old victors, all whose heads and crests
    Weigh not the thin ore where their visage shines,
    But) of find unclipt gold, where dully rests
    Some likeness, which the glittering cirque confines,
    Of modern, reigning, sterling, stupid stamp;--
    Yes! ready money is Aladdin's lamp.
