Stronger than thunder's winged force, All-powerful gold can spread its course, Thro' watchful guards its passage make, And loves thro' solid walls to break: From gold the overwhelming woes That crush'd the Grecian augur rose: Philip with gold thro' cities broke, And rival monarchs felt his yoke; Captains of ships to gold are slaves, Tho' fierce as their own winds and waves.

Tâ-uz, who is no other than Tammuz, is here like Burns's John Barleycorn: "They wasted o'er a scorching flame The marrow of his bones; But a miller us'd him worst of all For he crush'd him between two stones."
