mammon (n.)
Mammon, the least erected spirit that fell
From heaven; for ev'n in heaven his looks and thoughts
Were always downward bent, admiring more
The riches of heaven's pavement, trodden gold,
Than aught divine or holy else enjoy'd
In vision beatific.
Maidens, like moths, are ever caught by glare,
And Mammon wins his way where seraphs might despair.
Ye cannot serve God and Mammon.
