CONFIDENCE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Said the state to the prelate your pay we will withhold
Last Line: And free 'twill be given—since rich jews do here abound.
Subject(s): Jews; Wealth; Judaism; Riches; Fortunes


SAID the State to the prelate your pay we will withhold.
Smiled the priest in reply, I scorn your pow'er and gold,
You use your godless might with heavy cruel hand,
But back your gifts I fling, nor care for your command,
Nor need our Church fear want; aye, money will be found.
And free 'twill be given—since rich Jews do here abound.
