• For in that universal call,
  Few bankers will to heaven be mounters;
  They'll cry, "Ye shops, upon us fall!
  Conceal and cover us, ye counters!
  When other hands the scales shall hold,
  And they, in men's and angels' sight
  Produced with all their bills and gold,
  'Weigh'd in the balance and found light!'

  Jonathan Swift
