  • For in that universal call,
    Few bankers will to heaven be mounters;
    They'll cry, "Ye shops, upon us fall!
    Conceal and cover us, ye counters!
    When other hands the scales shall hold,
    And they, in men's and angels' sight
    Produced with all their bills and gold,
    'Weigh'd in the balance and found light!'

    Jonathan Swift, Sir Walter Scott (1883). “Historical tracts. Political poetry. Poems chiefly relating to Irish politics”
