Epigram for Wall Street

Edgar Allan Poe·1809–1849
Lines:8Movement:Romanticism
I'll tell you a plan for gaining wealth,Better than banking, trade or leases —Take a bank note and fold it up,And then you will find your money in creases!This wonderful plan, without danger or loss,Keeps your cash in your hands, where nothing can trouble it;And every time that you fold it across,'Tis as plain as the light of the day that you double it!
