A fool's wealth
A great fortune I found
one that will end the rule of poverty
neutralise the stench of wretchedness
I shall build a mansion
decorated of gold
with chandeliers made of crystals
at my beck and call shall servants be
I shall flaunt my feathers of wealth
like a peacock
and adorn myself with apparels
bringing out the charm in my visage
maidens as beautiful as the sunset shall grace my bed
this is the folly of a covetous man.
