Mammon
(FOR MR, G. F. WATTS'S PICTURE) Mammon is this, of murder and of gold, To-day, to-morrow, and ever from of old, Th' Almighty God, and King of every land. Man 'neath his foot, and woman 'neath his hand, Kneel prostrate: he, 'tis meant to symbolise, Steals our strong men and our sweet women buys. O! rather grind me down into the dust Than choose me for the vessel of thy lust.
