RICH OR POOR, by                 Poet Analysis    
First Line: With thy true love I have more wealth
Last Line: Those kings and misers made so poor.
Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
Subject(s): Love


With thy true love I have more wealth
Than Charon's piled-up bank doth hold;
Where he makes kings lay down their crowns
And lifelong misers leave their gold.

Without thy love I've no more wealth
Than seen upon that other shore;
That cold, bare bank he rows them to --
Those kings and misers made so poor.
