Riches
------

A sovereign here, another sovereign there.
I build my wealth up one step at a time
and to the Merchant Lord go all my prayers.

I pity those that must resolve to crime,
when so much can be earned by playing straight.
I build my wealth up one step at a time.

My trading skills I call my finest traits.
I always start my business with a smile
'cause so much can be earned by playing straight.

These days even my friends will fear my wiles
regardless of how much I give away.
I always start my business with a smile,

go home a little richer every day.
My vault is always filled to overflow,
regardless of how much I give away.

Lord Prospero has blessed me, that I know.
A sovereign here, another sovereign there.
My vault is always filled to overflow
and to the Merchant Lord go all my prayers.

Penned by my hand on the 5th of Glacian, in the year 437 AF.
