Wall Street [journal]

Wall Street, n. A symbol of sin for every devil to rebuke. That Wall Street is a den of thieves is a belief that serves every unsuccessful thief in place of a hope in Heaven. Even the great and good Andrew Carnegie has made his profession of faith in the matter.

Carnegie the dauntless has uttered his call

To battle: "The brokers are parasites all!"

Carnegie, Carnegie, you'll never prevail;

Keep the wind of your slogan to belly your sail,

Go back to your isle of perpetual brume,

Silence your pibroch, doff tartan and plume:

Ben Lomond is calling his son from the fray—

Fly, fly from the region of Wall Street away!

While still you're possessed of a single baubee

(I wish it were pledged to endowment of me)

'Twere wise to retreat from the wars of finance

Lest its value decline ere your credit advance.

For a man 'twixt a king of finance and the sea,

Carnegie, Carnegie, your tongue is too free!
