Letter "W" » Wealth
"No, he was no such charlatan–
Count de Hoboken Flash-in-the-Pan–
Full of gasconade and bravado,
But a regular, rich Don Rataplane,
Santa Claus de la Muscavado,
Senor Grandissimo Bastinado!
His was the rental of half Havana
And all Matanzas; and Santa Ana,
Rich as he was, could hardly hold
A candle to light the mines of gold
Our Cuban owned."
Author: Edmund C. Stedman

What gay distress! what splendid misery!
Whatever fortunes lavishly can pour,
The mind annihilates, and calls for more."
