EPIGRAM FOR WALL STREET by EDGAR ALLAN POE

Poet Analysis

First Line: I'LL TELL YOU A PLAN FOR GAINING WEALTH
Last Line: TIS AS PLAB AS THE LIGHT OF THE DAY THAT YOU DOUBLE IT!
Subject(s): MONEY;
I'll tell you a plan for gaining wealth,
Better than banking, trade or leases --
Take a bank note and fold it up,
And then you will find your money @3increases@1!
This wonderful plan, without danger or loss,
Keeps your cash in your hands, where nothing can trouble it;
And every time that you fold it across,
'Tis as plab as the light of the day that you @3double@1 it!
