Vignette-Olde Money

The first son inherited by right
The second,off with his king to fight;
Ab third in a rectory might dwell
The youngest was to marr well..
Family coffers...more to swell.

You know well, my chap, the British customs by which we inherited shackles of our lives ... this is the excuse of capitalism as an act of liberation fromthe tyranny of structured wealth or the structures of wealth. Good again.
